In "Le Amiche" (1955), Antonioni experimented with a radical new style: instead of a conventional narrative, he presented a series of apparently disconnected events, and he used long takes as part of his film making style. Antonioni returned to their use in "L'avventura" (1960), which became his first international success. At the Cannes Film Festival it received a mixture of cheers and boos, but the film was popular in art house cinemas around the world. "La notte" (1961), starring Jeanne Moreau and Marcello Mastroianni, and "L'Eclisse" (1962), starring Alain Delon, followed "L'avventura". These three films are commonly referred to as a trilogy because they are stylistically similar and all concerned with the alienation of man in the modern world.
