Why it matters in cinema history
A key film of the 1960s art-house boom, when European auteurs were funded by Hollywood studios and modernist ideas reached mainstream audiences. It also helped push cinema past the old Production Code.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a film about seeing: how the camera, the photographer and you are each looking, and what each assumes.
