In the review.
Antonioni's masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.
In terms of photography one of the most beautiful films of all time with, among other things, the beautiful architecture of Gaudi.
Thriller elements mainly serve to make Nicholson (very subdued here) roam a bit existentialistically.
Film is therefore about the atmosphere and the impossibility of escaping your existence.
Famous classic final scene (camera slides out through barred window and looks back in..a lot of film students got to block it).
Masterpiece!!

Antonioni has built up a lot of credit with me as a director with 'Zabriskie Point'. A special film and a true masterpiece. Naturally, you as a viewer will soon be triggered to see more films by a director, of course. 'Professione: Reporter' seemed to be the right choice last night.
It must have been to my disadvantage that I was very tired, because I could have seen this film better in fitter conditions. Still, the film kept me interested for a long time, starting with the sweltering beginning in the desert. Little dialogue and a slow pace don't make for a boring film here.
Towards the end - and that's a shame - the fatigue started to break me down a bit. Just for the last long shot I'm going to quickly revise the last part. And not after such a tiring day.

I thought prior to this cycle that Anonioni would suit me better than it had turned out after the few films I saw. But that he would suit me so well that was almost unthinkable for me beforehand and here we are with yet another high appreciation. What a fantastic movie. An existentialist film about identity and sort of stripped-down thriller in one. With a Nichelson (he was already in the best phase of his career in the early 1970s anyway) who plays a truly brilliant and even subtle lead. Then you are also not yet recovered from the end of L'Eclisse, then you get this ending again. A sweaty film that never lets you go about a man who is no longer who he is and, above all, who is no longer at home. Beautiful.
