Antonioni is one of the most influential filmmakers of aIl times, indeed critics revere him as the creator of Modern Cinema. His STORY OF A LOVE AFFAlR, aka Cronaca di un Amore, is his first feature fiIm, a Noir thrilIer with sensuaI themes of yearning and jeaIousy. It is considered a masterpiece by Scorsese, among others.
PaoIa (Lucia Bosè) is a strikingly beautifuI young woman married to a rich oIder industrialist who decides to have her past investigated. The detective s enquiry reaches Paola s former lover, Guido, prompting him to seek her after seven years, and they reignite their passion.
Antonioni, who defined cool modernism on screen, chronicIes the love affair, observing without judgement. His ground-breaking techniques - such as the Iong one-take sequence, later adopted by cinema greats - and scintiIIating B&W photography are presented here in HD for the 1st time, from a painstaking 2K restoration, finalIy doing justice to the director s masterpiece.
