Well, what can I say? i've never seen such beauty in one single movie. Antonioni at his best. I've seen 5 or 6 movies that he's done but this one is my favorite. especially the last scene, that goes for about 10 minutes. I was waiting for something to happen, and nothing happens. But with this emptiness, we are completely anxious about what's gonna happen. this emptiness is so full of meaning, a vision that Antonioni masters. It is really great to see Alain Delon at a young age. Because i despise him now, and i thought i'd hate him in this movie before i've watched it. He really blew me off. I really advise everyone to see this film. it has a strange way of keeping the audience always in alert of something. A blast, really.

Martha
(I) (1974 TV Movie)
Great Strange Beautifully filmed movie
14 April 2005
I was so amazed by this genius, the way that Fassbinder holds his camera as if it was his own child. I've rarely seen somebody mastering the art of camera as much as Fassbinder does. He's all over it, he sees beyond the human eye. The shot where Martha meets Helmuth for the first time in Roma is amazing... my heart stopped for about 3 seconds... I couldn't believe what I just saw...I saw this shot many times but I was afraid that I might loose interest in it if I kept playing it again and again. But I didn't. As for the story, it is very beautiful indeed, strange and disturbing. It's one of the best filmed movie ever done in my opinion. Don't miss it.
