- The film's compelling narrative, which unfolds as a mystery that keeps the audience engaged.
- Michelangelo Antonioni's innovative style and groundbreaking approach to cinematography.
- The exploration of themes such as identity, alienation, and existentialism, making it a significant work in the Italian Neorealist movement.
- Exceptional performances by Monica Vitti, Gabriele Ferzetti, and Alain Delon.
Fun Facts
