The main theme explored in works of a cinema master, Antonioni, and this one is no exception.
I watched it 2 years ago. It was my first Antonioni, and didn't really liked it back then so I will not recommend it for entering into the artist work. But maybe it's just me. For entering I will recommend something like Zabriskie Point (my favorite from him) or The Passenger (my second).
This is a film about woman (Monica Vitti), a very sensitive one, and beautiful too, living in her world, a very ugly and toxic, a distanced one, filmed with masterful directing and cinematography. It was a director's first colour movie and colours are beautifully placed in this harshly grey environment, especially red.
Monica Vitti, Antonioni's muse, was great in this film. She is my favourite actress, except maybe Irène Jacob, or maybe Juliette Binoche, or maybe... Well I don't know any Antonioni's movie with her in which she wasn't, at least, great.
Don't get fooled because of my rating. I am very strict, very. This is one of Antonioni's best films for me and I will definitely watch it again in years to come.
And please, be nicer to the environment.
