N.p.: N.p., 1963. Vintage borderless black and white photograph of Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti at the Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris, with the Arc de Triomphe in the background. With the stamps of Cinemonde Archives and Parimage on the verso. Vitti and Antonioni enjoyed a prolonged romantic and professional relationship throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, creating "L'avventura" (1960), "La Notte" (1961), and "L'eclisse" (1962). Vitti's fourth film with Antonioni, "Il Deserto Rosso" (1964), was filmed shortly after Vitti returned to Rome from Paris, where she starred in Roger Vadim's 1963 comedy "Nutty, Naughty Chateau." 7.5 x 10.75 inches. Very Good plus, with light creasing to the top corners, faintly toned along the left edge.

Rome: Film Duemila, 1964. Vintage borderless reference photograph of Monica Vitti and Richard Harris from the 1964 film. "Deserto Ross" stamp on verso. Antonioni's first color film, and the last in a quartet of films made between 1959 and 1964 about women in modern culture (preceded by "L'avventura," "La Notte," and L'Eclisse"), and the lie of happiness and better living. This entry, very much an antecedent to Todd Haynes' "Safe" (1995), focuses on Vitti, a woman trying to survive in the modern world of cultural neurosis and existential doubt. Carlo Di Palma's cinematography remains legendary today for its stunningly colored industrial landscapes, beautifully and yet indirectly evoking Vitti's unease, alienation, and vivid perceptions. Shot on location in Ravenna, Sardinia, and Rome, Italy. 9.5 x 12 inches. Near Fine. BFI 1134. Criterion Collection 522. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema. Rosenbaum 1000.
