Le amiche ([le aˈmiːke], lit. "The girlfriends") is a 1955 Italian drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Eleonora Rossi Drago, Gabriele Ferzetti, Franco Fabrizi, and Valentina Cortese.[2][3] Based on Cesare Pavese's 1949 novella Tra donne sole (lit. "Among women only" or "Among single women"),[2][3] Le amiche portrays a group of five upper-class women in Turin and their various relationships with men. It premiered at the 16th Venice International Film Festival,[2] where it was awarded the Silver Lion.[4]
