A fine treat from the past: Antonioni's "Cronaca di un amore"

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The 1950 film is not what we tend to associate with the name Antonioni, even though you will see plenty of familiar elements there, the impossibly De Chirico-esque empty streets and detached characters...
It is a marvelous film in its own right, and in some sense immediately brings the memories of Visconti's "Ossessione", or... surprisingly... the Allen's Match Point.
Crime, love, guilt, betrayal - those are timeless issues, and this early film covers them all.
