MCT:August 26, 2008This film, like "L'Avventura," is FILLED with metaphors - I'm certain of it. But I'm too lazy to analyze anything right now because Antonioni does not know how to balance analysis with something entertaining. Any newbie screenwriter can come up with his/her own metaphors, but it takes a talented one to know how to have BALANCE. And that Mastroianni guy really liked the vainglorious roles, huh? It's all about "me, me, me" in "La Notte" and "8 1/2" and God knows what else.
50% for having sophisticated and "intellectual" metaphors (Some of which I did grasp) plus 0% for completely failing in the enjoyment department. -

MCT:September 15, 2008La Notte is the story of a night in a couple?s relationship - Giovanni & Lydia ? It is a night both in the physical and metaphorical sense of the word. A culmination of what perhaps was a shining relationship, into the dusk of coldness and indifference ? leading to the dark hour of perhaps eventual separation. Antonioni, in his typical style which says more through gestures than words, has taken the viewer though this painful sequence of distancing. It makes you wonder why two attractive people who have each other would seek the company and affections of others. In the beginning, this ?other?-ly interest is subtle. Giovanni?s interest in a nymphomaniac, Lydia?s glances towards streetwalkers. That they are no longer ?together? is highlighted by Lydia?s otherworldliness in the presence of her husband. The estrangement is mutual ? and it is because they both seemed to have married a concept rather than each other ? Giovanni a rich attractive girl desired by many, Lydia a talented writer adored by lot. They try to love the concepts, and are therefore disappointed, annoyed and jealous in the real persons that lives behind those ideas.
The movie has a terrific ending - if novelists don't know how to wind up their writing, I suppose they can pick up a cue from Antonioni. He knows how to do it in perfection.
Antonioni has done a remarkable work with this movie. It seems very real and un-dramatic. (Except for the scene with the nymphomaniac, which seemed a little out of place). I have really begun to like him quite a lot, though I think he can be (and IS) excruciatingly slow. thought I would hammer Jack Nicholson in ?The passenger? to make him move a little faster! -

L'une des oeuvres les plus importantes du cinéaste italien, centrale à sa trilogie de l'incommunicabilité, entamée avec L'Avventura et conclue par L'Eclisse. Dans ce poème visuel sur la mort du couple, les protagonistes, interprétés par Marcello Mastroianni et Jeanne Moreau, se retrouvent par ennui dans une soirée mondaine et passe la nuit à butiner de personne en personne à la recherche de quelque soulagement qui toujours leur échappe.
Antonioni étant fidèle à lui-même, il ne se passe rien de bien exaltant, mais au contraire de Blowup, les personnages sont ici tragiquement humains et leur destin nous importe malgré la distance qui se trouve entre nous. La construction du récit est fascinante, l'alternance des scènes forme une mosaïque d'instants intimes qui convergent vers un retour à la case départ, celle qui s'est d'abord fragmentée sous nos yeux et n'arrive plus à recouvrer son unicité. Il faut s'habituer à ce genre de cinéma lent où tout passe dans les crevasses du silence, mais si l'on arrive à s'y faire, l'expérience vaut la peine d'être vécue. -

Cinema of shadows and silences and wits and stares.Antonioni brings the most unbearable feelings of a "loving" couple and smashes the counter-culture of the upper-class.Mastroianni and Moreau are sizzling.
