This wonderful movie was directed by the great Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni and the leading actors are 'Dolce Vita' star Marcello Mastroianni (as Giovanni, the writer), Jeanne Moreau (his wife) and Monica Vitti (Valentina).
The film is about a couple played by Moreau and Mastroianni, whose marriage is likely to have an end soon. The love they felt disappeared and they are still together just for fear of changing their life. The film shows a day of their life, when their friend Tomaso dies, Giovanni gets an offer to write a book about the history of a big company, he flirts with the daughter of this factory's owner, and their marriage comes to an end. Antonioni tries to express the thoughts of the characters with pictures in all of his films, and this ambition is very successful in this movie, called 'La Notte' in Italian.
