154, Roberto Rossellini
Non traditional story structure, use of episodes
couple as often on seperate depths
come together when judged by others, see themselves as different
short scenes at times
constant distractions, interruptions
Bergamn's character as floating around, interrupting
powerful scene (signalled by music) in gallery, her look for masculinity/ fire
compared to man's dishonesty/ incompetence
fascinating Bergman character; wants fire, but is impatient
use of guides; male inadequacy at guiding, but needs it?
use of landscape in pancs, outside world as world of fire that attacks
final scene takes us to social context (deeply psychological before)
understanding that neither can escape the other
a fine, fine film, perhaps the finest at individual psychology of the couple
