Tony B 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 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review dave s 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Again, while it's not up to usual Antonioni's standards, it's still much better than most of the movies made today. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member "Identification of a Woman" é um exemplo flagrante do que pode ser um filme de um realizador em crise que se permite a todo o tipo de excessos, por mais chatos que eles sejam. Antonioni estraga um pouco do que conquistou, nos anos 60, com este embrulho confuso de auto-citação, meta-narrativa, pretensões arty e intenções que terminam geralmente à deriva. E isso é uma pena, quando o cerne de "Identification of a Woman" é cheio de um erotismo que seria fascinante se o filme não se perdesse em si próprio a cada 30 minutos. As duas vezes que adormeci a vê-lo deviam ter servido de aviso. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
