I haven't watched it for a year or two, and it was this movie that was even more difficult to understand than In the Mood for Love, especially on a dry afternoon in early summer, when I finally fell asleep watching it.
The whole story is set against the background of mottled iron, black steam, and abrupt pipes, with a poor neurotic woman. . . . . . Too depressing.
PS: The industrial pollution presented in the film of the 1964 Venice Golden Lion Awards is copied everywhere in China half a century later.

    What is the symbolic meaning of the green dress on the head and tail of the heroine? Is it a symbol of the weak vitality under the ravages of the barbaric modern industry, or is it implying that the heroine chooses to compromise and become peaceful after suffering from the fear and anxiety brought by the cold industrial society, or do you want to say that the heroine has greened her husband?

    It is indeed a cold, lonely, modern, and pathologically perverted movie. It is often out of place, but if you grasp a little "love incompetence" (the mental sequelae of the heroine's car accident and concussion), you can slowly understand the heroine. The audio-visual language is wonderful, and the color combination is especially good and meaningful. It's a film that is metaphorically obvious, and about modernity and industry and human emotion, no one is more profound than Antonioni.
