But in the course of a single day, he unknowingly captures a death on film, which will precipitate a series of increasingly bizarre events. This dizzying film by Michelangelo Antonioni crystallized the atmosphere and iconography of swinging London in the 1960s, while continuing his crusade of modern emotional inquiry, this time on a palette in pop art tones, which he himself would continue in his next film Zabriskie Point (1970).
