Review of La Notte (1961) by Jens T — 05 Jul 2010
La Notte manages to live up to the high standard established by its thematic predecessor, which in itself is a huge achievement. It also succeeds perfectly on its own terms. Acutely exploring difficult themes, it manages to stray away from sensationalism and bluntness altogether.
As a film that explores intimate themes between characters and internal struggles, it has a wonderful sense of distance that works to instill a unique atmosphere. This is often a specifically visual experience, but the imagery never takes precedence over the people occupying the story.
This is impossible for a young filmgoer like myself to do justice to in a short review. See it for yourself.
