Chiara Caselli, Fanny Ardant, Jean Reno

A mosaic of four stories about love and desire tied together by the story of a filmmaker who observes the relationships of young couples. The first episode, "Chronicle of a Love That Never Was," follo...( read more  read more... )ws a young traveler to Ferrara who falls in love with a woman he meets, but falls asleep in his room and leaves her waiting in vain. Two years later they meet again, but he chooses to leave rather than consummate his desire for his ideal love. The second episode, "The Girl, the Crime," has the filmmaker wandering through Portofino and sleeping with a pretty young boutique owner who confesses that she has killed her father. The third episode, "Don't Try to See Me Again," takes place in Paris as two jilted lovers become attracted to one another. The final episode, "This Body of Mud," takes place in Aix-en-Provence and tells the story of a young man who falls in love with a young woman who has devoted her life to God and views her body as nothing more than a vessel to transcend.

    Antonioni knows the real depth of pain caused by boredom. Perfect casting especially for the last part.

    the mist is surreal, and casts a spell, a sleeping spell that is. largely a disappointment, given that it was Antonioni's last

    Athmospheric, elegant a high class act, it did what other movies are trying to do: transport you from your seat to somewhere else, ie suspend all your disbelief, yup I was beyond the clouds for sure, it has a heart and soul and no I am not italian . The films from tinsel town feel mechanical to it. One of my favorites.
