Le Amiche

year: 1955
director: Michelangelo Antonioni
cast: Eleonora Rossi Drago, Gabriele Ferzetti, Franco Fabrizi

A young woman returns to Turin, after years in Rome, to open a boutique. The building is still under construction, and Clelia finds herself at once attracted to Carlo, the architect’s assistant who reminds her of the working-class background she’s worked hard to leave behind. Antonioni's fourth feature is one of his most memorable films, in which multiple plot strands, character psychology, and a masterful control of the camera are perfectly fused.
