antonioni , melancholy and innocence

Antonioni's films have a sense of gravitating poetry about them, the poetry is in the gaze that he offers, the innocence of the medium of cinema, its breaking from the narrative of cause and effect, the new images, new shots, lots of silences, strange characters with their adventurous foibles,their attempts to find desire and satisfaction, their melancholy, their squeamishness, their emptiness among arificial plenitude, the sheer amount of pontification over a decision which at the end is relegated to a mere instinct, and in the end an eclipse, one's hand on another's hair, brushing it , consolation and forgiving, a giving in to making love out of pity or clarity no one knows, a tiring for nothing, the characters feel it, you as a viewer feel it ....the exercise of the spectator and a discerning audience...connecting dots
