Il Grido bridges Antonioni’s early, neorealism-inspired work and his hallmark stories of existential rootlessness. Aldo (Steve Cochran), a factory worker, embarks on a wandering odyssey after his long-time lover rejects him. Drifting through the Po Valley with his young daughter, Aldo encounters various women but remains lost in existential despair. The Italian master took the top prize at the Locarno Film Festival with this title. Subtitles.
