Almost Cheating Scenes in La Notte (1961)

She tells Giovanni something about her phone not working then afterwards she runs back to her room as a nurse goes after her.

Roberto comes close to Valentina and touches her in the face, obviously still wanting to fuck her, and not minding that his wife is there. Valentina moves away. Lidia kisses her goodbye and the couple starts to leave. Valentina tells them they really worn her out tonight.

While the couple is walking away from the party, Valentina informs Giovanni that Tommasso died in the hospital. Then she tells him that Tommaso came to her several times in the past, sat with her for days, and believed that she had strength and intelligence. She continues and tells him that she used to spend entire afternoons reading in bed and Tommaso would stop by and find her like that. Tommaso could have taken her in his arms if he’d liked and she wouldn’t have rejected him out of sheer boredom, but he was content to sit and watch her as she read to him.
