La notte (12)

Cinema
We enjoy asking the artists exhibiting in the gallery what films they would like to have screened in our cinema to coincide with their exhibition. The selections are sometimes surprising but also consistently illuminating of their practice. For No Reflections, Martin has chosen four films, including La notte.
Following last year’s DCA Ellipsis exhibition being named after Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’eclisse, Martin Boyce reveals his earlier film as an influence. Featuring a central cast of Marcello Mastroianni, Jeanne Moreau and Monica Vitti, this Milan-set movie shows melancholy and ennui between a husband and a wife drifting apart as they visit a dying friend, attend a party and flirt with other guests.
