sheer nudity

So straightforward, so pure and naked, related to eroticism, but so pure, there is almost no temptation to watch it with evil thoughts. The dialogue is like poetry, the old director's perception of life, and the combination of many movie souls are all integrated in this film.
The always foggy French or Italian towns, the green and uninhabited streets, seem to pass by quietly. A field of hurried love, a heart that is difficult to speak, interprets the helplessness and pursuit of life in the electric light, flint or slump.

    Obviously not very good but very good. Many dialogues are deliberately literary but not repulsive, and many shots are calm and empty but attractive, very special films. At first I thought it was a great blessing that the director who borrowed the name of the film could leave Sophie Marceau in the film forever, but it was later discovered that the male lead was not the director. 2012-11-01 I want to see it until now. How can a middle-aged Mediterranean man get Sophie Marceau in ten minutes?

    "Above the Clouds" is sentimental, and even more so-called small death love-the shorter the shorter the closer to eternity. There are four stories, the first is love without sex, the second is sex without love, the third is entangled with the soul and the flesh, and the fourth abandons the flesh, tending to the infinite freedom of the soul. Only illusion can replace reality, and the purest love is the denial of the reality in front of you. The director's narration at the end of the film can be regarded as Antonioni's summary of his life: behind every image, there are people who are more loyal to reality. And behind that image, there is another one that goes round and round, endlessly, until the absolute, unseen, mystery ultimate reality.
