Antonioni's first colour feature features a terrific performance from Monica Vitti, as a married woman embarking on an affair while on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Any aspiring actress would do well to watch Vitti's turn, as she runs through just about every emotion in an attempt to cope with the modern world. Antonioni buffs will surely savour every moment of this BFI Blu-ray release which, thankfully, retains all the grain and is rich in detail. There's also an excellent commentary track to enjoy from Italian film scholar David Forgacs. A groundbreaking film, which haunts the memory for days after.
