During my formal artistic education, (studying playwriting back in Brazil) I was really ingrained in the whole rejection of individualism thing. This line of thinking was pretty much the norm between students and encouraged by professors. It kind of came with the transgressive nature of post modern theatre. I still really grapple with it, but what I can say is that it really hindered artistic expression. Suddenly all the artistic output was for the collective, naturally it was always expected that the core of the thesis of whatever we produced, was to ultimately reach for the utopian. Art defined as a mere tool for social change.

Thank you both very much for answering my question and sorry for this late gratitude and response back. I also agree that L’Avventura is his best film despite loving Red Desert nearly as much. Whilst I do understand your struggle with Antonioni’s sparse, restrained depictions of moral vapidity and also his seemingly contradictory glamorisation of it, I feel that this contradiction and the empty, slow pace of his films is incredibly truthful, more so than perhaps trying to give a solution, as for me he insists we observe the problems between people and leaves it up to us to change our own indifference and cruelty, which I feel is enough given his insistence is so relentless and even borders on repetitive. However, I am also unsure of Blow-Up, as I disliked it the first time I saw it, and then read up on it a lot, which perhaps meant that I projected all that I had read about the film’s supposed meaning onto my second viewing of the film. I haven’t read the short story by Julio Cortazar but definitely will now that you’ve reminded me of it again :) I have also just moved from an extremely isolated rural village to a big UK city a few months ago and I was wondering if you could possibly expand on what you mean by ‘finding unnecessary restrictions’ in these types of places ? Moreover, you’ve definitely persuaded me to grow vegetables when I get the opportunity now, and I completely agree with you both about wanting to regain agency and learning about the past, including older ways of living.
