The search for a woman who mysteriously vanishes (suicide?) on a volcanic Mediterranean island, conducted dutifully but somewhat distractedly by her lover and her best friend, produces one of the pace-setting movies of the Sixties (the pace being erratic, lethargic, anti-dramatic). This did more than any other single movie to legitimize boredom as a screen subject and boringness as a method of treating it. With Monica Vitti, Gabriele Ferzetti, and Lea Massari; directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. (1959) — Duncan Shepherd
This movie is not currently in theaters.
