Plot
An aspiring young artist becomes obsessed with a model, and loses his sense of self, in a drama of desire.
Sinekatalog’s take
Damiano Damiani's Italian drama, La noia, with Horst Buchholz, Bette Davis and Catherine Spaak, is based on Moravia's novel and is a slick, cold film with a strange cast.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
