Plot
A journalist takes on the identity of a dead man in Africa.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michelangelo Antonioni's existential thriller follows a man who swaps identities with a dead stranger. Jack Nicholson is fine, and the astonishing long final shot is one of cinema's great set pieces.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
