is much more a Pollock, Stella, Newman...abstract. Antonioni completely shattered our expectations of what a film should/could be (like the Abstract artists) and moved the "action" from what happened on the screen to what happened within the viewer's perception and feelings.
That being said, I prefer his masterworks, "The Passenger" and "Blow-up." They are much more complex, complete and show a maturing. The 3 films you mentioned I think of as necessary steps, or studies. Brilliant ones, of course.
