Is it about a garage mechanic, a nun, a corporate titan, or a burned-out electrical engineer?
Heaping adjectives is not advancing your cause. Be informative, not lyrical or poetic.

upper classes felt, post-WWII. Economy rebounding, consumerism rampant--- but marriage, the bedrock of bourgeois society and an accurate gauge of social health, was floundering. Also, Italy went all in to fascism--- and after that catastrophe, there was a collapse in general mores. After all, Italy was an extremely Catholic country--- and the Church had a go-along, get-along relationship with it.Two great European actresses, Jeanne Moreau (the wife) and Monica Vitti (the interest), perfectly embody this cynical result, with Marcello Mastroianni providing the male role, linking the two women's worlds.
But as anyone familiar with Antonioni knows, it is the style--- the cinematography, editing, and music--- that tell the story: he is the most visual of great directors.
