I watched Michelangelo Antonioni's 1960(?) film _La Notte_ again last week (in the privacy of my own home, on DVD, not in a epidemiological hot spot AKA theater).
This was one of the "new realism" films, I believe. But Antonioni manages to use partial reflectivity of glass walls, where you both see thru the glass and see things reflected in the glass so that there appear to be rooms where they are not.... Antonioni manages to pull off one of these trompe l'oeils that I could not figure out, despite giving it some effort.
Antionioni said:
"Every day we live an adventure, ideological or
sentimental. Our drama is non-communication and
it is this feeling that dominates the characters
in my film, which I preferred to set in a rich
environment because feelings there are not
dependent on material circumstances."So, in our new empiricism (the rule of the Iron Fist, as I call it...), we will less and less be able to know who man is, but only what material circumstances can do to him. Maybe we will son study economics on the planets Mercury and Venus (which are, I believe, uninhabited)?
Cheers!

Look at this long enough and everything begins to make sense.
