A swinging-'60s London fashion photographer (David Hemmings) unwittingly captures an apparent murder while furtively shooting a young woman (Vanessa Redgrave) and an older man cavorting in a park. In his English-language movie debut, Michelangelo Antonioni (L'avventura) offers his most approachable work despite dangling a mystery with a philosophical answer rather than conventional genre solution. Sporting a flawless restoration and impressive extras-interviews, documentary, booklet, etc.-this full package brings a "mod" classic into focus. [Trailers, LJ 2/1/17] © Copyright 2017.
