IDENTIFICATION OF A WOMAN (1982)

MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI

Plot

Perhaps Antonioni's most beautiful film and certainly one of his most accomplished. The search for female protagonists for the film within the film mirrors life as the central film-maker's attempts to find a partner prove equally elusive. Two women from different social and sexual milieu, two extraordinary key sequences, the first enshrouded in thick fog and the other in the desolation of the Venetian lagoon, metaphors abound with enigmatic sequences. Highly individualistic.
