The story within the pictures isn't as much the story as the pictures telling it. Michelangelo Antonioni uses his camera to create a visual masterpiece in exquisite black-and-white, with his celluloid canvas highlighted by beautiful lead actors in all of their photogenic glory. A chatty picture this is not. It's the lens that does most of the talking.
