Antonioni turns a glossy romantic melodrama of modern prosperity inside out to reveal the essence of modernity itself. Full Review
New Yorker

Redeemed by Antonioni's talent for episodes: the dismal picnic, the row in the restaurant, redecorating the apartment; and by his clever cutting and photography for character. Full Review

A very minor early work from Michelangelo Antonioni. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- The expressive elegance of Antonioni's camera movements -- the way he glides around a scene, composing and recomposing the human figures within it to suggest psychological patterns and unacknowledged erotic connections -- still has the power to amaze.

Rating: 4/5 -- Long before the he put Monica Vitti through the existentialist-ennui wringer, Michelangelo Antonioni gave the world this muted melodrama about urban females dealing with boorish men, banal modern life and the occasional suicide attempt. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- An Antonioni film will frequently pose a riddle, and then never answer it; here the mystery of why Rosetta tries to kill herself becomes a pretense for the rest of the film. Full Review
Slant Magazine

Rating: 4/5 -- plays like the haunting island-search centerpiece in L'Avventura in gestation

Product Description:

An early drama from director Antonioni (BLOW UP), LE AMICHE is an allegory about the changing roles of women in society. Clelia (Rossi-Drago) is a beautiful young woman who works in the fashion industry, where she discovers a world of shallow people with put-on attitudes and ideas. The only solace she is able to find in this cruel and phony world is in the companionship of young architect Carlo.
