Michelangelo Antonioni, 1964
The frames above come from the opening of the film, when the privileged
young woman, still recovering from a nervous breakdown, goes to her
husband’s factory, with her little son in tow, seemingly to commune with
the surrounding polluted environment. After explaining adaptation to
her son, she develops a sudden need for a worker’s half eaten sandwich,
which she buys from him, well above its cost. (It’s probably derived
from a similar incident in Huysman’s À rebours.)
