Pros: good video transfer
Cons: slim bonus feature package; stale ideas from a director with little new to offer

Michelangelo Antonioni’s penultimate film was Identification of a Woman, and like so many of his movies, it delves into unhappy relationships, a societal conflict between a life of privilege and comfort and a life where those things are immaterial, and enigmatic women and the men who either can’t please them or can’t be pleased. It’s a somber piece, filled with his usual pessimism about life and love and the materialistic world which seems to corrupt everything, but it’s a tune he had played many, many times in the past, and by 1982, its melody had grown more than a bit stale.
