An Almost Perfect Affair
Keith Carradine
, Monica Vitti
Paramount, 2003
Good idea thrown away
Critics and art-house lovers must have writhed at this movie that puts the spotlight on their pretensions and the deals and self-absorption that are behind it all. But people interested in film-making, screenwriting and just movie buffs in general will chortle with ...
La Notte
Marcello Mastroianni
,
Jeanne Moreau
Fox Lorber, 2001
Outstanding
La Notte (The Night), the 1961 film by Michelangelo Antonioni, and the second of his Alienation Trilogy, after L'Avventura and before L'Eclisse, is a huge artistic leap up from its predecessor film. It's not so much that L'Avventura was such a bad film- it's not. It ...
Red Desert / Il Deserto Rosso - (Russian Import - PAL DVD)

Richard Harris
Film Prestige, 2005
Great
Michelangelo Antonioni is often referred to as a director whose work is not for all tastes. Well, what artist is? What the utterer of such sentiments usually means is that they do not `like' his films, because they are not filled with insipid action, worse dialogue, ...
Modesty Blaise
Monica Vitti,
Terence Stamp
20th Century Fox, 2002
rock'n'droll
Though this is not a knee-slapper as satire, and certainly no thrill-giver as an action flick, this film has aged better than Bond films like Thunderball, generically speaking the ground of this satire. Modesty Blaise is loosely based on a comic-book super-heroine and ...

L'Avventura
"L'Avventura" is one of those films in which nothing much happens, but it is fascinating all the same. A sense of absence pervades the movie, the characters themselves drenched in ennui. Anna and her reprobate boyfriend, Sandro, join their other jet set friends on a ...

you should own this beautiful film
(rev. 10/4/03) I don't care if its the orange-tinted DVD copy, or whatever, you have to own at least one copy of this film. It is so very beautiful, and bears repeated viewings. I've seen it forty times, and this is a conservative estimate. (While you're at it, be ...

Five star movie, but NOT multi-region!!!!!!
All other web information suggests that this BFI disc is Region B only, so WHY THE **** IS IT FOR SALE ON THIS SITE??? Please change this page's information, which is WRONG. (If this information I have is incorrect I'd love to be proven wrong.)
The Phantom of Liberty

The Criterion Collection, 2005
"On a flimsy ground of reality, imagination spins out and waves new patterns."
This excellent collection of satirical vignettes is my kind of movie - crazy, dark and comical, it goes any direction it wants and does not follow any rules. When we try to grasp for the meaning, it is like a ghost, a phantom that "leaves us with a wisp of vapor in our ...
L'Eclisse - Criterion Collection
Alain Delon
, Monica Vitti
Criterion, 2005
The Electric Fan
**Spoilers** L'Eclisse is essentially a love story, or at least an almost love story. Both lead actors are highly attractive and very little real conflict exists to keep them apart. Antonioni could have chosen more mundane circumstances if he simply wished to ...
The Dolls

Nino Manfredi
Koch Records, 2001
Great movie; it deserves a better DVD transfer
LE BAMBOLE/THE DOLLS is a great example of "commedia all'italiana" and its four directors are in very good form here. The great attraction is the cast, though: virtually every actor is just perfect in his/her role. Lollobrigida is at her sexiest. She had problems ...
The Scarlet Lady

Maurice Ronet
Pathfinder Home Ent., 2003
A beautiful heiress to a perfume dynasty learns that her boyfriend has squandered her empire. She plans to kill him and then herself. She goes to spend the last week of her life on an incredible shopping spree in Paris.
