The sound design, the shot choices, the almost sci-fi looking settings, Monica Vitti's performance as an archetypal modern subject, this movie has it all and more.

Painterly ambivalence~~~ Giuliana (Monica Vitti) struggles to hide her increasingly fragile mental state from her abscent husband in a post-industrial landscape. Corrado, a visiting business man, promises reprieve through an affair.
Lots o' fog, gorgeous framing of empty space, a heightened colour palette and a minimalist electronic sound score. The small fairytale sequence is amazing so i've linked^^

80s sun-drenched Italian countryside, a dude with a knack for dowsing robbing ancient Etruscan graves with his ragtag friends, perfect soundtrack/Italo disco, Isabella Rossellini. Itβs perfect.

Recommending this because I just watched it and was blown away. Kind of experimental, off-putting but realistic sci-fi, like a film length Twilight Sone episode starring Rock Hudson. Some gorgeous cinematography and a great reflection on what it means to live a fulfilling life.

Everybody meet Tomato! (government name: Chloe) She is a very very shy but sweet little lady who is one year old. I already feel like we're kindred spirits because we both take a while to warm to people. She is currently sitting comfortably with the dust bunnies under my bed.
