Chronicle of a Love Affair (Antonioni, 1950): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.15pm


This excellent early film from Michelangelo Antonioni is part of the director's season at BFI Southbank. The movie also screens on January 2nd and 19th. Full details here.

Chicago Reader review:
Michelangelo Antonioni's haunting first feature (1950)—a remarkable formal effort involving a detective, an adulterous trio, a murder plot, a choreographic mise en scene, and an extended flashback—qualifies in many ways as an Italian noir, set in the milieu of the Milanese upper classes; with Lucia Bose (The Lady Without Camellias) and Massimo Girotti. 
Jonathan Rosenbaum

Here (and above) is an extract.
