La Notte

Filmed on location in Milan, the film is the relationship between a disillusioned novelist and his frustrated wife as it follows a single day and night where they confront their alienation from each other and the empty Milan circles they travel. The film continues Antonioni’s tradition of abandoning traditional storytelling in favor of visual composition, mood and character. It’s one of the most important movies in the history of Italian cinema. A short lecture by Aleksandra Czupkiewicz – architect living in Wrocław – will accompany the screening.
