- 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 8-12) & Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim Bay of Angels) He is a renowned author & "public intellectual"; she is "the wife" Over the course of one day & the night into which it inevitably bleeds the pair will come to re-examine their emotional bonds & grapple with the question of whether love & communication are even possible in a world built out of profligate idylls & sexual hysteria Photographed in rapturous black-&-white by the great Gianni di Venanzo (8-12 Giulietta degli spiriti) La notte presents the beauty of seduction then asks " When did this occur
