So let me get this straight — Antonioni is now being held up as a paragon of anti-wokeism? The movie in question is intended to be a left wing attack on the Roman bourgeoisie. The African scene in question was not intended as some harmless Euro-fun, but a critique of colonialist values. It’s perfectly fine to argue that the scene in question made its point by displaying racism, therefore defeating its purpose. But to argue that we’re all “too sensitive” is to display your complete ignorance of Antonioni’s work. My guess is none of you defending the scene even watched the movie.
