This was the last Antonioni's work featuring Monica Vitti, and his first color film.
I have to admit, the word "color" scares me when considering the director's B&W films - given their perfection it is natural to see the color as an unnecessary embellishment. And to me it was a distraction. I thought the film lost some directness.
I know it has received plenty of acclaim... but personally I am reluctant to grout it with the other three. To me they tend to stand alone.
