"story of faith" from "Days Above the Clouds"

I recently watched the last short story in "Days on the Clouds" again, and I remember it was called "story of faith". Irene Jacob's calm face calms me, as Vincent Perez said, "I am satisfied with a contented girl." When I was full of worries and fears about the future of my life, I always thought of that peaceful beauty on her face. Faith gives human comfort, doesn't it?

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite stories in the film. "Are you satisfied?" The actor asked the passerby casually, isn't he also asking every audience? I revisit those lines that go straight to my heart: "You are afraid of death, and I am afraid of survival. Once survival begins, everything is inevitable." "You are a mystery, like an undead." "I am indeed dead, a little Son."

Antonioni puts his most profound experience at the end of the film, and the denial of desire conveys the director's affirmation of Christian birth values ​​at the end of his life.
