Architecture in Antonioni’s Alienation Trilogy: A Special Three-Night Film Series at Preservation Foundation in Palm Beach

An architect before he became a film maker, Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni directed a trilogy of 3 films using architecture to frame his characters with the architecture becoming the silent subtext.  The films are:


  • L'aventura, re disappearance of a woman during a yachting trip off Sicily and explores a modern tale of ennui and isolation
  • La notte, re confrontation of the alienation of a novelist and his frustrated wife and the achingly empty bourgeois Milan circles they travel in and Monica Vitti, who appears in all three films, is their tempting daughter, depicting romantic and social deterioration.
  • L'eclisse, re a young woman leaving one unsuccessful relationship and going into another, with Rome as the backdrop.


These will be presented to members only three nights in a row, Monday, November 16th thru Wednesday, November 18 at 6 pm.  Membership starts at $200/year.  Must reserve by calling 561-832-0731, ext 111 (no emails accepted).
