      Il mistero di Oberwald

      It is the most beautiful movie of Antonioni after the movie Blowup. Skill of the director is distinguished. Mizanstsenirovka is refined. In the movie beautiful symbolical generalizations.The destiny leads the man (Sebastian) on a lock wall to his love, to his main meeting in life. And for the woman (queen) this meeting with the man is destiny too. Now for them life appears in other look. It is great enlightenment. They are connected now forever. I like the distinguished image of human feelings. Often hands of the person transfer the deepest experiences of a human soul. Shots remind ancient pictures. Beautiful colors. Very beautiful shots at the end of the movie, two hands last to each other. It is a symbol, life is based on inclination of the man and woman, on their love. In my opinion, the best late movie of Antonioni. And Magnificent game of Monica Vitti.
