The art of printing engravings and etchings is still taught in art schools, but hardly anywhere remains where the craft is carried on as a regular profession.

Not since Dick Whittington has a countryman caused such a stir in the City of London. First, a tradition of 600 years was broken to honour him; then cameras were allowed at a ceremony which, since the Middle Ages, only members have witnessed.

The second of two films by one of Italy's most accomplished directors
Starring Monica Vitti, Alain Delon

Not so much a story - more a state of mind! The slight tale of an attractive girl who breaks off one affair and gradually drifts into another is only a framework for Antonioni's challenging observation of his leading character - the beautiful Monica Vitti.
