One of the masterworks of 1960s cinema, La notte [The Night] marked yet
another development in the continuous stylistic evolution of its director,
Michelangelo Antonioni — even as it solidified his reputation as one
of the greatest artists of the 20th century. La notte is Antonioni’s
“Twilight of the Gods”, but composed in cinematic terms. Examined
from a crane-shot, it’s a sprawling study of Italy’s upper middle-class;
seen in close-up, it’s an x-ray of modern man’s psychic desolation.

Two of the giants of film-acting come together as a married couple
living in crisis: Marcello Mastroianni (La dolce vita, 8 1/2) and
Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim, Bay of Angels). He is a renowned author
and “public intellectual”; she is “the wife”. Over the course of one
day and the night into which it inevitably bleeds, the pair will come
to re-examine their emotional bonds, and grapple with the question
of whether love and communication are even possible in a world built
out of profligate idylls and sexual hysteria.

Photographed in rapturous black-and-white by the great Gianni
di Venanzo (8 1/2, Giulietta degli spiriti), La notte presents
the beauty of seduction, then asks: “When did this occur —
this seduction of Beauty?” The Masters of Cinema Series is
proud to present Michelangelo Antonioni’s haunted odyssey
in a new digital restoration, uncut for the first time
ever on home video.
