More then a statement of Vietnam, the film is a scathing observation of the American way of life. Not a pretty picture. Its what makes the film seem very fresh on many levels. The same corporate mentality has only flourished since the early seventies. A prophetic film on the shallow soulessness that is devouring our culture.

A few days ago, the great master died with Bergman. R.I.P.

I love Antonioni, and I will check "The Passenger". I recently rediscovered "The Zabrinsky point" about the US in the '70, brilliant.
