So far my favorite Antonioni, the cinematography, compositions and use of locations are perfect. The use of poetry in the script is remarkably inspired as well as the dialogue being nothing but nuanced, the film takes its sweet time to give you these little hints aiming at how complex the real emotions of these characters are, everybody is grieving here, and the ones who don't haven't realized yet.
Lacks the striking composition of its predecessor, but also the bravado. Sure the film is much more intimate and personal, and it certainly has its moments of Antonioni introspection, but I just did not connect with the film as strongly as L'Avventura.
Definitely my favorite of the trilogy, I'm surprised that Criterion didn't release this yet.
one third of Antonioni's great trilogy on the displacement and alienation of the modern man.
An incredibly dense atmosphere, psychologically complex and beautiful cinematography. Reuniting Europe's acting elite of that time, this remains one of Antonioni's best films.
