The Oberwald Mystery (1980)
(Il mistero di Oberwald)
Country: IT
Technical: col 129m
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Cast: Monica Vitti, Franco Branciaroli, Luigi Diberti
Synopsis:
A Queen threatens a would-be assassin to follow through his attempt on her life, even though he bears an uncanny resemblance to her late husband.
Review:
Antonioni's video experiment, made for Italian television, is an opera without music, hopelessly long and marred by unattractive filter effects, but undeniably refined and detailed like all his work, with the same thwarted romanticism. Vitti still looks superb, and is fine in the role.
