1960 · 133246 — Italy: Nepi Film 1960. Vintage oversize double weight borderless photograph from the 1961 film. A candid on-the-set photograph of director Michelangelo Antonioni cinematographer Gianni Di Venanzo Jeanne Moreau and others working on a balcony shot part of the long party sequence that makes up the last third of the film. <br/><br/>The second film in the trilogy that begins with "L'Avventura" 1960 and ends with "L'Eclisse" 1962. Shot on location in Milan. <br/><br/>Probably no one has ever said it better than Bosley Crowther who reviewed the film for the New York Times in 1961: "Too sensitive and subtle for apt description are Antonioni's pictorial fashionings of a social atmosphere a rarefied intellectual climate a psychologically stultifying milieu-and his haunting evocations within them of individual symbolisms and displays of mental and emotional aberrations. Even boredom is made interesting. There is for instance a sequence in which a sudden downpour turns a listless garden party into a riot of foolish revelry exposing the lack of stimulation before nature takes a flagellating hand. Or there's a shot of the crumpled wife leaning against a glass wall looking out into the rain that tells in a flash of all her ennui desolation and despair."<br/><br/>In a custom museum-quality frame archivally mounted with UV glass. 9 x 12 inches.
