Movie: Identification of a Woman

Quote :

We always imagine happiness is somewhere other than where we are.  That must be why there's so much suffering in this world.

This "late career masterpiece" from Michaelangelo Antonioni follows a film director whose wife left him.  He has fevered but passionless affairs with two women who look a lot like his wife, but still is consumed with finding and understanding his wife.

Slow, painful, passionless, and off-putting, the film is nonetheless gorgeously filmed (in the Italian countryside) -- great use of light and reflections -- and there is a long sequence that takes place in a fog bank so thick you can't see ten feet.  That's very unusual for a film.

It goes on sale at Amazon if you want it.
