long silences with strong focus on side things - irrelevant characters and small objects. there is a sense of delight when freed from the constraints of romantic expression; anxiety when forced into it. perhaps a little dissonance between the lengthy stock market scenes and the other parts, so it's either very good or great depending on whether i focus my thoughts on that or on the brilliant, brilliant ending.

With beautiful yet empty city panorama & Alain Delon/Monica Vitti's performance, you can feel sensual touch about loneliness and anxiety, vanity, futility of contemporary life. Great classic.
