A classic

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. First of all, even though I’m quite knowleadgle about movies, I have to admit that I have still some work to do with Michelangelo Antonioni since I have seen only 5 of his movies. To make things even worse, 3 of them are among his worst work (‘Eros’, ‘Al di là delle nuvole’, ‘Zabriskie Point’). The weird thing is that I have actually always been interested by this director and this interest all came from this movie. Indeed, I thought it was just fascinating. Basically, it is like watching a very entertaining thriller but directed by a true artist and not your average Hollywood director. Indeed, the big difference between this masterpiece and your average thriller is that it doesn’t waste your time with some boring action scenes or some cheap theatrics, instead, you focus mostly on the psychological turmoil experienced by the main character and it was just spellbinding. Also, the fact that not everything was spoon-fed to the viewers was greatly appreciated. To conclude, I really loved the damned thing, it is easily one of my favorite thrillers and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Michelangelo Antonioni’s work.
