Academy Award-winning director Michelangelo Antonioni (Blow up, Beyond The Clouds) explores women's evolving role in society and the conflict between love and career in this engrossing drama. Clelia, a beautiful young woman who lands her dream job in a glamorous Italian fashion house, soon finds herself plunged into a cruel world of phony, shallow people. The only honesty in her life is the pure love offered by Carlo, a young, socially impoverished assistant architect. But is it enough? With its fascinating, multi-layered story, rich characterizations and superb performances, Le Amiche remains one of Antonioni's most beloved works.
Editor's Note
An early drama from director Antonioni (BLOW UP), LE AMICHE is an allegory about the changing roles of women in society. Clelia (Rossi-Drago) is a beautiful young woman who works in the fashion industry, where she discovers a world of shallow people with put-on attitudes and ideas. The only solace she is able to find in this cruel and phony world is in the companionship of young architect Carlo.
