The Plot.
The movie director Niccolo has just been left by his wife.
This gives him the idea of making a movie about women's relationships.
He starts to search for a woman who can play the leading part in the movie - but also in his own life.
I love Antonioni. Every frame has meaning. But his films also require time and concentration.
Many today would find them boring and slow.
Count this movie one of them. But I really love it. It's beautiful to look at and sucks you in slowly. It takes it's time for the plot to unfold and maybe it's not going to tie up loose ends. That's what makes it so compelling. You can watch it a hundred times and find something new each time.
