| La notte | comment |
La notte is a 1961 film by Michelangelo Antonioni.It features Marcello Mastroianni as Giovanni Pantano, a famous writer, and Jeanne Moreau as his wife Lidia. It is a portrait of a failing marriage and people who have grown apart from each other, seen over a single day as the Pantanos go out and about, visiting a terminally ill friend, going to a fancy party. While the inattentive Giovanni enjoys his high-society lifestyle and looks for a younger woman to have an affair with, the much more sensitive Lidia is undergoing an emotional crisis.Monica Vitti stars as Valentina Gherardini, the daughter of Giovanni's potential boss. Giovanni and Lidia's friend, the one dying of cancer, is played by Bernhard Wicki, who also directed The Bridge. The film is set in Milan. La Notte is the second installment in the trilogy of alienation succeeding to L'Avventura and preceeding L'eclisse.La notte was shot by the cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo. The film received a Golden Bear in Berlin Film Festival in 1961. | |

Extreme Libido | |
| La notte / int_1b40fc16 | comment |
Extreme Libido: An obviously insane girl placed in a room on the same floor as Giovanni's dying friend. She attaracts Giovanni into her room. He reacts ambivalently, never taking any intiative but obeying her. | |

Extremely Short Timespan | |
| La notte / int_281de59f | comment |
Extremely Short Timespan: It spans over less than 24 hours unlike all other Italian films by Antonioni including the other "alienation" films (L'Avventura, L'eclisse, Red Desert). The same trope is reinforced with Blowup. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| La notte / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Everyone is cynical here. Lidia's cynicism is of rather desperate brand but she still is cynical. Monica Vitti too playes a cynical variation of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Her character is as cynical as a young millionaire's daughter can be. | |

Visual Innuendo: As Lydia walks home, she encounters groups of two men each: one engaged in a bloody brawl, and another setting off rockets. In both cases, the men are watched by other men, and they're also visually symbolic of the sex Lydia isn't getting (or giving). | |

Establishing Character Moment: We learn a lot about Giovanni when a mentally ill young woman lures him into her room and starts trying to have sex with him—and he goes along with it, and is on top of her on the bed when the nurses come in. All the while Giovanni's wife Lidia is waiting outside the building. | |

Tritagonist: The third character played by Monica Vitti appears only 55 minutes into the film previously nearly exclusively dedicated to the relationshop of two main characters. She receives a fair share of attention until her exit, after which the final minutes deal with two main characters again. | |

Shout-Out | |
| La notte / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of the books Giovanni finds lying around the house is Herrmann Broch's The Sleepwalkers, which is also about the ennui among the rich aristocratic bourgeosie. The opening scene of the camera tracking down Milan's Pirelli tower is a reference to the end of King Vidor's adaptation of The Fountainhead, in which the finale is a tracking shot of an elevator up to a tower. | |
