this movie threw me into an existential crisis this year—it’s honestly one of the most powerful films i’ve ever seen. antonioni doesn’t tread from his usual “modernity sucks—we’re all coming to the end” theme, but i think he captures it the best in this film because his landscapes, buildings and interiors function as actors on his film set. They make the viewer feel as alienated as his characters. Antonioni is a TRUE (and overlooked) master.
