Search: Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni

Le Amiche is a deceptively sharp look at a society in flux and at the destructive effect on individual lives of lingering social divisions.

Showcases the venerable maverick’s directorial style at is best and its worst.

For better or worse, Antonioni’s got his master stylist hat on here, even if it sometimes obscures his vision.

The questions of truth, representation, subjectivity and objectivity define the documentary form, and Antonioni's extraordinary film encapsulates these issues while focusing on one of the world's most 'unknowable' cultures.

Antonioni's film is the last of the three here, and is arguably the weakest, which is something of a disappointment because the disciples seem to have overshadowed the leader.

The blue bloods are either seriously screwed up or unapologetically vapid.

The idea of a world in which characters may find more comfort in alienation than connection is something that speaks as much to our society as it reflects the universe of 1960s Italy.

Antonioni's direction is subtle and his argument much more than left-wing hand-wringing.

The Passenger is fascinating not only in its story and the way it treats its subjects, but in its editing and cinematography.

For those wanting a straightforward story with identifiable protagonists, Zabriskie Point may seem like a mess. But if you were wanting such simplistic entertainment, why would you go to see a film by Antonioni?
