The Antonioni film is horrible. I wouldn't recommend it.

Best part of the Antonioni film is him hanging out with Mastroianni in the making of doc.

All I remember about it is Irène Jacob as a nun telling her suitor that if she were to have an affair with him it would be like lighting a candle in a room full of the light of Jesus or something. Which I guess had some power if it’s stuck with me for 30 years.

Though, I have a feeling that line is in the trailer, which I probably saw a couple of times too and there’s nothing like the power of repetition.

I love the thought of the perfect memory of this song staying with him for 30 years.

I then found it, which stopped me having a vicarious experience along the same lines.

It was always going to be a race for second place here.

I voted for Beyond the Clouds for sentimental reasons, because I saw it at the NYFF.

Figured the winner would win. Recall that Musketeers film being pretty good.
