Gary S Dec 30 Wow. I wouldn't even waste rotten tomatoes to throw at the screen. Using lots of imagination one might be able to decifer what the writer/director was trying to achieve in presenting us with this shambolic car-crash of a movie, but being realistic, it's just utter tosh. The editor must have been inebriated, the scriptwriter a pretentious illerate and the props guy kept very busy buying cigarettes. Aside from some pretty and very perky ladies, the film has zero to offer. What any of them would see in the miserable loser of a protagonist it beyond comprehension. And where did that ending come from??? This film needs sending to the sun where it can burn up and never be missed. See more Tony B 08/29/2022 Story drags for-ev-er... Only the hardened fan would watch this. Basically a sombre dude who's obsessing over women, following their lead, occupying himself with nothing other than directionless females and thus getting nowhere. He should have fired on with movie making; he'd have found more fulfilment. The cinematography, Italian setting, language and vehicles kept me interested enough to keep watching, and that 80s nostalgia! È tutto per ora. Ciao See more dave s 07/05/2022 Late in Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman, a character sums things up by stating that ‘we always imagine that happiness is somewhere other than where we are.' Made towards the end of his career and probably his last significant offering, one can't help but feel a touch of melancholy coming from the great director. It's the story of an Italian film director, Niccolo (Tomas Milian), as he struggles for ideas for his new film, all while living a lonely existence, always in search of female companionship. While it's nowhere close to his classics from a decade or two earlier, it certainly bears all of the stylistic trademarks of his classics – languid pace, carefully composed framing, striking images of empty landscapes, characters adrift in life, and so on, proving that even an average Antonioni film can be rewarding.

See more 01/04/2017 As funny as it is melancholy, Michael Antonioni's (relatively) forgotten gem is a smart, self-aware character study with a human core we can all relate to. See more 07/03/2016 A middle aged man who has lately divorced is followed while he goes though two relationships, which ultimately prove challenging, though in very different ways. In Identification of a woman Antonioni manages to go over his usual themes of love, erotism and relationship with a fresh point of view, though ultimately sad and disillusioned.
