Many nights led to this night, nights of time, nights of fear, nights of love, nights of loneliness, nights of pursuit and conquest, nights without privacy. But finally: a night of truth as a married couple attend a bourgeois party and wade through the stifling strain that long-term marriage has imposed upon them.

This film is an interesting study of the dissolution of a marriage, but is neither as melodramatic nor as overtly thoughtful as more modern takes on the subject. The performances of the two lead actresses are compelling, but overall the film doesn't commit to a a point of attack and instead feels sprawling in the way it traverses many settings and moods.
my favorite Antonioni scene is here when Moreau is simply walking and thinking at night, no dialogue or explanation necessary
