beyond the cloud be in many way the weird film i have ever see . not for it cult appeal and gore and or even for it idea and but because of the element that combine to make this a masterpiece of cinema . beyond the cloud be direct by michelangelo antonioni and one of italy most famous director . however and if you give this film only a quick watch over and passively i mean and it would seem one of those melodramatic and often pointless romance . this movie deserve great attention and to the point of embrace all it cheese . by cheese i do not mean a slice and but a whole brick of cheddar . the music seem like it from some italian porno and the story and dialogue like they be from a corny japanese soap and and the metaphor be so obvious you want to smack yourself on the head . but once you get pass all this and you be engage in an existential work of art . the cheese feed into the subtle filming and draw our attention and perfectly and to what need to be know . the basic plot be of four chapter and unrelated and and all about love . what we learn be that no matter what happen or what be say and people can not communicate to each other . instead they can only communicate through each other . i suppose that why the dialogue and plot be so cheesy and because the conversation be overly irrational with lack of causality and people reaction overly melodramatic . i leave that film think to myself while maybe all life be one big melodrama . we judge our feeling towards others a real and purposeful . i hate and because i have reason . but what do the hated think . maybe they think that my hate be stupid and arbitrary . in other word and melodramatic . so melodrama be actually an existential function . a corny romance be simply human interaction put under a magnifying glass and allow u to see the futility of who we be and what we do . this be a great film and i recommend it to all .
