Brilliant film - Story of a Love Affair review by LE
Surprisingly good. A pulpy film-noir plot but infused with Antonioni's cinema of alienation. Some brilliant long takes that help to show the unspoken distance between the characters. An astoundingly accomplished first film. The extras are a bit weird. Not terrible but it feels like they were all taken from a longer documentary. Why not just give us the full original documentary?
