There are enough intentional or unintentional depictions of the interior and exterior of the building in this film to impress me, such as the street lights that appear many times, the close-up of the corners of the building, and the simple and beautiful interior wallpapers. uniquely sensitive. From beginning to end, there are few close-ups of people's faces, and most of them are medium shots. They deliberately express the spatial relationship between people and people and between people and scenery. Almost every shot gives the surrounding environment an opportunity to 'express itself', as if this is not just a film about human relationships, the surrounding buildings, cars, street lights, trees, signal towers. . . Wait, the shots given by Antonioni again and again seem to be part of the story, and there are more empty shots in the back of the film. In fact, this film is not intended to tell any complicated stories. My understanding is to express infinite space. Time and increasingly complex interpersonal relationships are slowly consuming people.

  • Vittoria: As long as we were in love, we understood each other. There was nothing to understand.
