Antonioni - Visione del silencio...

Few years ago we watched the last movie made by Michelangelo Antonioni
Eros, a short film within "The Dangerous Thread of Things".
I did not like this film terribly a lot, somehow I wasn't grasping the Thread...
The very last sequence of the film, Antonioni walking with no music background among Michelangelo's sculptures, only B&W footage and the sound of his footsteps, that was a very powerful ending of a distinguished career as an artist.

But there was definitely a divine element in this - the three parts were threaded by drawings and by this awesome voice singing Visione del silencio....
This voice was mesmerising, almost androgynous, Caetano Veloso, divine...
This is my important marker, so I don't forget.
