340) D.O.A. One more from the film noir list. This is probably the best one I've seen this year.
341) La Notte. So I get the point that the movie is supposed to be boring and detached, but come on. I liked L'Avventura and Blow Up a lot and they both dealt with a lot of the same themes, but they were both portraits of characters and lives presented to the viewer while I got the feeling that in this picture Antonioni expected us to actually take part in the story's ennui and share in the detachment of the characters. Which I totally don't get because no one goes to the movies to be bored, people watch movies so that they won't be. I will say this though, Italian women sure know how to walk.
341 down, 639 to go.
