Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Antonioni suffered a stroke in 1983; Wenders helped him realize this final vision, shooting segments Antonioni could no longer physically direct.
The film's structure mirrors Antonioni's entire career—elegant surfaces hiding spiritual desperation, women as mysterious centers men orbit but never reach.
