Warning to collectors: Ensure your rip has the "Raw" subtitles. Many subtitle tracks localize the dialogue too much. The word "Noia" (boredom) is often translated as "angst" or "emptiness." Antonioni meant boredom —the existential, paralyzing boredom of prosperity.
The Italian LPCM 1.0 Mono track is clean and stable. While monaural tracks are inherently limited in "surround" dynamics, this release manages to create a surprising sense of depth, particularly during the chaotic, noisy scenes at the Roman Stock Exchange.
1080p Criterion Collection Blu-ray | DTS | x264
The film is a study of the difficulty of connection in the modern world. It is about the "eclipse" of human feeling in the shadow of industrial progress. The finale—a legendary seven-minute sequence observing an empty street corner without the protagonists—is perhaps the most daring ending in cinema history. It suggests that the world continues, indifferent to our heartbreaks.
