Curiously, though, it has not yet antagonized the coalition's left so much as rigidified opposition to the coalition on the Christian Democratic right. Incensed by the desertion of Segni in the early ballots by the party's left, the right now threatens the effective withdrawal of support from the government...

Night falls. Man and wife are restless and preoccupied- easier to go out than to be alone together. They drift off to an all-night brawl at a millionaire's mausoleal residence. "They're all dead here," the wife sighs as they enter the house. Antonioni's point is unmistakable: his hero, like Orpheus, has entered Hades, the contemporary hell of unmeaning materialism- will he find there the love, the soul, the vital core of meaning he has lost? He finds the daughter of the millionaire (Monica Vitti), a dark-haired charmer whom he fiercely pursues, only...
