Movies like famous books

When I saw such a film by chance, the director was Michelangelo Antonioni, and I was reminded of a high school text "Listen to the Cold Rain", "Thinking about Taipei like this is completely black and white, thinking about it. The entire history of China is nothing more than a black and white film. From the beginning to the end, it has been raining like this. I don’t know if this feeling comes from Antonioni.” After watching the film, I found The text is honest and I don't deceive me. It was a desolate, cold feeling.

What is Anna's whereabouts? unimportant. Is the protagonist a scumbag? unimportant. My bestie is gone, can I be with her boyfriend? unimportant. While it's true that I can't read the central idea of ​​the film, I know it's not discussing these issues. It has a lot of places to interpret, lens language, imagery, dialogue... The comments seem to make sense, but they are almost meaningless. A movie like this, I would like to call it a "famous book" movie, I'll never be able to read it.
