Plot
A factory worker leaves his village after his lover ends their relationship, and wanders the Po valley.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michelangelo Antonioni's drifting drama follows a factory worker wandering the foggy Po valley after his lover leaves. Bleak, poetic and visually stark, with Steve Cochran, it is an early masterpiece of alienation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
