One of acclaimed Italian director, Michelangelo Antonioni's later films, Identification of a Woman is an atmospheric, erotically charged, and visually stunning work set in Venice.

Divorced, middle-aged filmmaker Niccolo searches for a leading lady to star in his next feature. He later comes to the self-realisation that he is abusing this task to instead find himself a new lover. He then over-zealously manages to become involved with not one, but two women. And after an initial attempt at juggling these relationships, the filmmaker is instead left alienated and confused when one of the women mysteriously disappears, and the other becomes pregnant by another man.
