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.
