In terms of plot: the heroine Lidia wanders away in the city, as if looking for something. The life of the hero Pontano revolves around his career, his new book, and encounters with strange women that may appear anytime, anywhere. Lidia and Pontano don't have many rivalry scenes, they are polite, restrained, have their own concerns, and have no love, but they also imply requirements and restraints for each other, and a little dissatisfaction. Is this love? Oh as if it was love, love as they understood it. Photography: Antonioni is a director who is very good at using long shots. He refuses to use editing to control the rhythm and mood. He only believes in his pre-shooting and uses a very long shot to control every scene, every action, every scene. Every mood, every rhythm, is perfectly matched by Antonioni's scheduling design, and the film begins to develop a unique atmosphere. Elements: The elements of architecture are particularly prominent, modern buildings, dilapidated and dangerous buildings, luxury villas in the dark, people and buildings are integrated in the picture, forming a very harmonious relationship. Complement each other. Impressive point: One is when Lidia and Pontano were chatting in a small bar, a pair of black dancers were dancing a dance, accompanied by jazz, very stylish. Another point is that when Lidia read a love letter to Pontano, Pontano asked: Who wrote this? Lidia said: It's you. In the end, the two embraced each other. Pontano is immature, while Lidia is very passive. Rather than being passive, she is more serious about love. Compared with Pontano, Pontano is like a guy who doesn't understand anything. Do what you want. Fuck this guy really looks like me. Attachment: I don’t know if you have ever felt this way, when you rely on the other person for your love, but feel that the other person doesn’t love you that much, this unequal relationship makes people feel like dying, maybe It's wrong to think that, but we don't know it, and we get lost in deep doubt and anxiety, draining ourselves. Adam Morton said in "On Evil": When a person wants to give up a relationship, she usually first chooses to deny that her love is true, so the final result is often: I don't love you anymore.

    "I feel like a walking dead, because I don't love you anymore. And you don't love me anymore." What a charming and discouraging movie... #4K

    When love disappears at midnight, the ending love letter breaks the theme. Both Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" and Fellini spent one night showing the demise of the material and emotional worlds, pointing directly to the essence of flashy; the former is estranged, the latter is empty, and equally fascinating.

La Notte quotes

  • Lidia: [reading from a piece of paper] "When I awoke this morning, you were still asleep. As I slowly emerged from my slumber, I heard your gentle breathing and through the wisps of hair over your face I saw your closed eyes and I could barely contain my emotion. I wanted to cry out, to wake you up, because you slept so deeply, you almost seemed lifeless. In the half light, the skin of your arms and throat appeared so vibrant, so warm and dry that I longed to press my lips against it, but the thought of disturbing your sleep, of you awake in my arms again, held me back. I preferred you like this, something on one could take from me bacause it was mine alone - - this image of you that would be everlasting. Beyond your face I saw my own reflection in a vision that was pure and deep. I saw you in a dimension that encompassed all the times of my life, all the years to come, even the years past as I was preparing to meet you. That was the little miracle of this waking moment: to feel for the first time that you were and always would be mine and that this night would go on forever with you beside me, - with the warmth of your blood, your thoughts, and your will mixed with mine. At that moment, I realized how much I loved you, Lidia, and the intensity of the emotion was such that tears welled up in my eyes. For I felt that this must never end, that all our lives should be like an echo of this dawn, with you no belonging to me but actually a part of me, something breathing within me that could could ever destroy except the apathy of habit, which is the only threat I see. Then you awoke and with a sleepy smile, kissed me, and I felt there was nothing to fear that we'd always be as we were at that moment, bound by something stronger than time and habit."

  • Giovanni: Who wrote that?

    Lidia: You did.
