A divorced, middle-aged filmmaker (Milian) searching for a leading lady to star in his next feature comes to realize that he has been subconsciously utilizing this task to instead find a new lover. Being a little over ambitious, he manages to become romantically involved with two women. After an initial attempt at juggling the relationships, the filmmaker is left alienated and confused when one of the women mysteriously disappears and the other becomes pregnant with another man's child. An atmospheric, erotic love story from acclaimed Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni (ZABRISKIE POINT, RED DESERT, BLOW-UP) who won the 35th Anniversary Prize at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival for this film.

The most openly erotic of Antonioni's features, and visually one of the most beautiful.

This is a respectable return by Antonioni to familiar thematic ground -- the impossibility of maintaining relationships in the contemporary world -- helped by a fine ironic underpinning and smoothly assured visuals.

A refreshing irony prevents the hardened art house pundit from wallowing in nostalgia and the metaphysics of 'portentous messages'.

Identification of a Woman is an excrutiatingly empty work. It's also beautiful and sad -- virtually a parody of the director's great L'Avventura and some of his other earlier films.

If Antonioni ultimately fails he deserves full marks for setting out on this adventure.

...uneasy and difficult to pin down, like the paranoia of a dream.

Identification of a Woman is not an easy film, but it's a most welcome addition to Antonioni's canon.

There's a very good reason this moody, atmospheric effort was never released in the United States until now -- it isn't very good.
