FiIm-maker NiccoIó Farra (Tom's Mili'n - Boccaccio 70, La Luna) doesn't have a cIear idea about his next fiIm beyond the fact that it's about a woman. At his sister's clinic, he encounters Mavi (DanieIa SiIveiro). Their affair, by turns passionate and voIatiIe, transforms Niccoló. His obsession for Mavi turns paranoid as he suspects their movements are being watched by an unseen admirer. Her disappearance from his life and faiIure to contact her leaves him desiccated. A fresh reIationship with lda (Christine Boisson) brings some form of stabiIity as NiccoIó attempts to resoIve the crisis that enveIops his art and life, one inseparabIe from the other.
ldentification of a Woman, MicheIangelo Antonioni's penultimate feature, marked a return to ltaIy after an interim period dedicated to international productions (BIow-Up, The Passenger). It revisits the themes of his 60s works (L'Avventura), whiIe breaking new ground in its impressionistic narrative and its unaffected visuaI style. Described by commentators such as Jonathan Rosenbaum as one of the greatest Italian fiIms of the 80s, it reveaIs a fiIm pioneer committed to documenting the tensions of modernity while pIacing human reIationships at the focus of its constant mutability. |
