Review by Library Journal Review

The first of his "alienation trilogy"-succeeded by Le notte (LJ 3/15/14) and L'eclisse (LJ 8/14)-Michelangelo Antonioni's landmark Cannes Film Festivalwinner upended established film grammar with its unconventional narrative. A woman goes missing on the island stopover of a yachting jaunt, leading to a futile search and eventual romance between her lover (Gabriele Ferzetti) and gal pal (Monica Vitti). Thwarting expectations, the focus shifts to their relationship, not the disappearance. For more serious "art film" fans. [See Trailers, LJ 10/1/14.] (c) Copyright 2015.
