- Wells Tao yeah I re watched that Movie, and had not the 'reviewers experience' given that I hadn't noticed the first time, who blew up the bourgeois male capitalist pigs house at the end, or why (she was asked to share a room with a whore, also brought there). And as for all the limpness of it's sensuality, I thought it was more brave than that, that there was a kind of hope in the actors willingness to 'get dirty' on screen, in dirt and dust. Something wiling them on..
- Alan Francais Stuart Aye. Antonioni liked to experiment and so 'counter culture' has some meaning here, I think. The cast are not professional actors and maybe what you sense as a driver is their lack of contrivance. Maybe a bit like the apprentices used to fill in the detail on those huge renaissance canvases?
- Alan Francais Stuart Yes, Antonioni, Pasolini and maybe Visconti dabbled in moral alchemy, it's true. But it served to grant absolution to a generation in thrall to the Philosopher's Stone and fleeing from Capital.(But not necessarily in any particular direction)
- Wells Tao Moral Alchemy, philosophers stone, absolution, so well put. Yes I forget the particular trauma lived in by that generation of creators, it is easy too I guess, since my own generations are even more made obscure. But these countenances, bitter and sweet lessons of the art of these, are I think frozen expressions where the face has lost it's silky smooth ability to transition. It's a simple weariness at having to read Mao's entire little red book, when just the intro suggests that he didn't read past Marx's intro... freezes the will into a child's shrill demands. For a thing to make it all better, the uber father or mother. TO save us from having to listen to nature un mute.. so much chatter demanding us to be still. We will not be still, there are too many guys pointed at us, made up, right in my head... capital-isms little soldiers pushing me off the grate.
