La Notte

*“If i feel like dying tonight, is because i don’t love you anymore.” * Antonioni’s camera movement is something incomprehensible to me, not in the literal sense of the word, but in the sense that i truly can’t understand how he’s able to communicate so much by showing so little, his cinematic language is truly perplexing to me. Now that i got that out of the way, there are no words to describe how fantastic this was for me, this feeling of disconnection yet yearning to grasp meaning in things is in my opinion the ultimate human experience, and Antonioni is able to truly portrait in such a silent yet honest way. He uses the camera in a way that we as an audience feel a little detached from what’s put on screen, like a non active participant, however in that final scene, for the first time we see the camera through the eyes of the characters, and it just meant something to me, it felt earned. Just, wow, genuinely wow.
