editAntonioni used the research for his documentary for a story idea which was later adapted for Federico Fellini's film The White Sheik.[1][3] According to Fellini, Antonioni, although he received screen credit, was not involved in the writing of the screenplay.[3]
Lies of Love has been screened as part of retrospectives on Antonioni at various festivals and institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art,[4] the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive,[5] and the Cinémathèque Française.[6]
