(1964) won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival! This is Antonioni's first color film, and it is also known as "the first true color film" in the history of world film! The film compares the life of an industrialized city and a woman. The loneliness and fear are a portrayal of real life, and they have always used color to express their emotions! In
the film, Antonioni sprayed the garbage on the location and the fruit sold by the hawkers into Gray, Juliana's clothes are mostly black, white and gray, showing the dark side of life, her husband is mainly in brown clothes, which means conservative, the social norm that he has been living in an industrialized city! Including The deception of his son at the end, it's all a real emotion! A bed bar is between Juliana and Corrado, which seems to mean the bottom line of morality! And the green in the film means fear, red It shows the desire for inner love! In the film, the color of the interior and exterior is often changed, as if the main color of the home and factory is cool gray and blue, which is a cold expression of society! The fishing room is made of red siding and white The clapboard, which not only expresses the emotions that emerge, but also expresses the emotional crisis! And when Juliana and Corrado had a relationship, the brown in the original room turned pink, which is the ethics in the peach color! Director Then use subjective color to analyze a corresponding spiritual world, this is a kind of psychological existence in reality, and it is an irresistible inner disease created by society!

    8.0 The tenth anniversary of Anton's death. The first color film does not like the setting of the protagonist’s spirit that is really problematic. There may be metaphors, but the intention is actually obvious. In fact, modern civilization does not oppress people's spiritual world, but exposes its own barrenness. Unable to enter the peaceful island, all we can do is to fly around the dense smoke.
