While looking for the missing friend, Claudia (Monica Vitti ) and Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti) develop an attraction for each other. When they get back to land, they continue the search with no success. Sandro and Claudia proceed to become lovers, and all but forget about the missing Anna.

 

"La notte"  (1961)

Second of Michelangelo Antonioni`s trilogy

After visiting dear friend that is terminal in a hospital, the writer Giovanni Pontano (Marcello Mastroianni) goes to a party for the release of his last book, and his wife Lydia Pontano (Jeanne Moreau) visits the place where she lived many years ago. In the night, they go to a night-club, and later to a party in the mansion of the tycoon Mr. Gherardini. Along the night, Giovanni flirts with Valentina Gherardini (Monica Vitti), the daughter of the host.

 

My favorite in Italy by far. 

She always was my favorite in Europe. She is hilarious in Le Bambole!!!
