Self - Filmmaker: Antonioni is not necessarily about the logical structure of a dramatic story. But, about atmosphere and nuisance and the kind of emotional tension in that exist - more like weather. One of the most striking things for me in my memory is Monica Vitti walking across a piazza and then you see above like about 25 guys just watching her move, you know. And it says so much about Italian culture, about visual imagery, about femininity, about sex, about, you know, just being a human and then being in a place - in a like kind of classical piazza, somewhere very, you know, very Italian and Mediterranean. I don't know. It's just kind of haunting

Antonioni is not necessarily about
00:00:04.001 --> 00:00:07.074
the logical structure of a dramatic story
00:00:07.074 --> 00:00:12.178
but about atmosphere and nuance
00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:18.918
and a kind of emotional tension that exists more like weather
00:00:18.918 --> 00:00:22.955
One of the most striking things for me in my memory is
00:00:22.955 --> 00:00:26.726
Monica Vitti walking across a piazza
00:00:26.726 --> 00:00:34.233
And then you see above about 25 guys just watching her move
00:00:34.233 --> 00:00:37.837
And it says so much about Italian culture
00:00:37.837 --> 00:00:42.208
about visual imagery about femininity about sex
00:00:42.208 --> 00:00:48.147
about just being a human and then being in a place
00:00:48.147 --> 00:00:52.001
like kind of classical piazza
00:00:52.001 --> 00:00:55.855
somewhere very Italian and Mediterranean
00:00:55.855 --> 00:00:58.255
I don't know It's just kind of haunting
00:01:05.898 --> 00:01:08.467
Jeanne Moreau walking down the street in La Notte
00:01:08.467 --> 00:01:09.999
did it for me
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:11.504
I said This is a woman This is a job
00:01:11.504 --> 00:01:12.672
Whatever this woman's doing
00:01:12.672 --> 00:01:14.999
I have no idea why she's so depressed
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:16.242
She is obviously terribly depressed
00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:18.377
and this man is not treating her well
00:01:18.377 --> 00:01:21.999
Don't care about him She is fascinating
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:23.001
I don't know what that all that means
