Michelangelo Antonioni’s first film in color, from 1964, is his most mysterious and awe-inspiring work. The accoutrements of modernity—heavy industry, atomic energy, antiseptic architecture, petroleum waste, and a little boy’s scientific precocity—converge to shatter the psyche of an engineer’s wife in the Italian port of Ravenna. Giuliana (Monica Vitti) hasn’t regained her composure after a monthlong hospital stay following a suicide attempt, but the essence of her problem is metaphysical, and only her husband’s boss (Richard Harris) seems to understand. Antonioni, in his most intense and virtuosic depiction of the horrors and monstrosities that pass for ordinary life, portrays Giuliana’s breakdown as a crisis of conscience and identity. Vitti’s masklike look of blank dread is the vanishing point for the polluted landscape of roaring machines; the metallic river, the riotous tangle of tubes and pipes, the yellow poison gas and orange flames that spout from smokestacks, and the smoldering fields of debris are the film’s true main characters, pulling the strings of the human puppets who depend on them.

Dec 31, 2005 · Quality's very good. Have a look at the Beaver screen captures from the Russian disc, which (as Gary speculates) is the same as the Italian.
You had a rant about the colour on the Criterion DVD transfer of Tales of Hoffmann, Dave?! A 3-strip Technicolor film shouldn't have bleached skin tones - you are right. Skin tones of honkies always looked reddish. DVD Reviewers often complain of reddish skin tones on transfer and this may be causing a bias with telecine operators, who are toning the reddness out of Technicolor-derived film elements during the transfer. Colour-correction is a standard practice now among the better DVD companies today. The recent Wizard of Oz has a few discrepencies in colour: DVD Beaver comparisons
