Disappearing Other and Self

Rewatch. I like the setting of the character Claudia very much. She is always the third party bystander, and all couples force her to be present when they are intimate, even if she clearly shows a desire to leave. Every time she left a "triangle relationship", she was not excluded, but actively escaped. When Anna disappeared and she finally entered into a relationship, she still chose to constantly escape and refuse. At the end, Sandro, who seemed to be cheating, betrayed her, but on the other hand, wasn't Claudia, who pretended to be asleep, the one who directed the cheating scene? In order to give Sandro a chance to leave herself, she counted the sheep all night, like a ghost in a game of ghosts, closing her eyes and waiting for humans to hide. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that she touched Sandro at the end, and she may have sincere pity for this man who fell into her trap. And she can run away again.

In any case, I don't like Antonioni, but I have to admit that he has played metaphysically with the most advanced texture and direction, pushing the possibility to the extreme.
