Plot
The end of one love affair and the beginning of another in modern Rome.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michelangelo Antonioni's study of a love affair ending and another beginning in Rome is cool and mysterious. Monica Vitti is luminous, and the famous final montage of empty streets is astonishing.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
