Identification of a Woman (Antonioni, 1982): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6pm


This 35mm screening is part of the Michelangelo Antonioni season and is also being shown on February 20th. Details here. Tonight’s event will be introduced by the filmmaker’s widow Enrica Fico Antonioni.

Chicago Reader review:
Michelangelo Antonioni's 1982 feature (he didn't make another until the 1995 Beyond the Clouds) focuses on an Italian filmmaker (Tomas Milian) and his chance encounters with two women. The most openly erotic of Antonioni's features, and visually one of the most beautiful (what he does with fog in one famous sequence is particularly memorable), it's also one of his most elusive in terms of plot and character. With Christine Boisson, Daniela Silverio, and Sandra Monteleoni.
