Michelangelo Antonioni's pre-international breakthrough drama is as good as anything he's done, a flawlessly acted and directed story of complex relationships -- that include his 'career' themes before the existential funk set in. It's one of the best-blocked dramatic films ever... the direction is masterful.

The Locarno Film Festival has announced their lineup for the 67th edition, taking place this August between the 6th and 16th. It speaks for itself, but, um, wow...
"Every film festival, be it small or large, claims to offer, if not an account of the state of things, then an updated map of the art form and the world it seeks to represent. This cartography should show both the major routes and the byways, along with essential places to visit and those that are more unusual. The Festival del film Locarno is no exception to the rule, and I think that looking through the program you will be able to distinguish the route map for this edition." — Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director

“Prendi appunti.” (“Take notes.”)
That was the famously economical answer the great Italian neo-realist screenwriter, Suso Cecchi d’Amico, gave when asked what advice she had for those aspiring to write films. Pay attention to the way people speak and act, and write it down, she seemed to be suggesting. It’s not in our daydreams where we’re going to find that convincing bit of dialogue or key to a character’s motivation. It’s in daily life, which holds more rich material than any of us could ever use.
The Bicycle Thief (‘48), Rocco and His Brothers (‘60) The Leopard (‘63), Senso (‘54), Violent Summer (‘59) and Jesus of Nazareth (TV, ‘77) are only a handful of the powerful films she wrote or contributed to, among more than 100 carrying her name.
Most cited for her career-long collaboration with director and close friend Luchino Visconti,...
