The failure of the film to abide by the conventions of narrative and its forceful undermining of traditional plot devices is purposely contrived in order to emphasis the movement towards a psychological exploration of the characters.

Bicycle Thieves undermined the classical narrative structure of film by implementing formal strategies deep focus, long takes, exposition of ellipses, action taking place in real locations that fragmented the linearity of narrative movement, and 5 Ian Cameron and Robin Wood, Antonioni New York: Praeger, , p. Subsequently Anna ceases to be mentioned at all by the characters in the latter half of the film.

In Bicycle Thieves Antonio never recovers the lost bicycle, but its absence remains a constant presence in the logical structuration of the story. The effect was to create a neorealist aesthetic whereby peripheral incidents impact upon the main characters the chance stealing of the bicycle in Bicycle Thieves in a way that appears random. However, the exposition of elliptical moments never completely challenges the narrative line of the films.

Antonioni though, foregrounds ellipses in the narrative itself. In contrast to Italian neorealism which spatialises narrative time so as to situate its narrative action within the virtual temporal continuum of its realist diegesis, Antonioni, by placing structural ellipses in the narrative, thematises the impossibility of ever knowing this global reality. The aforementioned shot in Bicycle Thieves where the camera pans to refocus its gaze off Antonio putting up posters and onto an anonymous man and children walking along the pavement is a case in point.

In Italian neorealism this device is used to express the wider context of the milieu intersecting with the errant wanderings of the protagonists in order to reinforce the realist aesthetic.

These shots are not meant to reveal the intricate textures of the quotidian, but expose us to the void that lay at the heart of the disconnectedness felt by the characters. This famous sequence occurs about halfway through the film, and designates the point where Sandro and Claudia stop searching for Anna with any sort of conviction.

What is interesting about this sequence is its final shot. In the precursor to this shot the camera shows Sandro and Claudia walking around and exploring the piazza, when they decide to leave the camera cuts to a ground level shot from deep within an alley between two buildings. Still a distance away from the protagonists, the camera slowly and somewhat menacingly tracks down the alley towards Sandro and Claudia, who move out of frame, get in their car which then reverses back into the frame and then finally they drive off, once more exiting the frame.

The camera, even after the car has moved completely off- screen, maintains its tracking movement towards the now empty space, and then remains stationary, focusing on the church building at the far side of the piazza for a full eight seconds. First of all, the movement of the camera as it tracks down the alley overtly foregrounds its gaze as that of a subjective voyeur.

Someone appears to be watching Claudia and Sandro from the alley. It is not an objective shot of the surrounds, of an extrinsic time-space that records people moving outside the trajectory of the protagonist.

But is quite consciously a shot anchored in a subjective gaze that focuses on Sandro and Claudia. The fact that the camera lingers on the space that they once occupied only highlights their presence by revealing the time-pressure that exists in their absence.

Generally the camera remains mostly invisible and passive throughout the film, which is why when it self- reflexively draws attention to its own voyeuristic presence it has a striking effect. It alerts the spectator to the subjective gaze of the camera, and consequently makes the spectator problematise their identification with the camera - from whose perspective are we witnessing these events?

Neither is it from the perspective of filmic narration, as 10 Op cit. While our perspective is aligned with that of the camera, its movement suggests that another force is propelling the camera forward.

Almost like there is someone watching the spectator watching the couple. This major narrative shift is signposted stylistically by the juxtaposition of the alleyway shot with the shot that follows it. The close-up brings the spectator into intimate connection with the couple; the anxiety created in the radical distancing and emptiness of the previous shot is alleviated by this sudden outpouring of affection filling the screen.

The contrast could not be starker. The close-up exposition of Sandro and Claudia embracing brings us back to their story. Stylistically, these scenes are accented by numerous close-up shots of Sandro and Claudia on the hillside, the camera, rather than assuming the distanced perspective from the previous sequence, brings the spectator into close proximity with the protagonists. The extreme close-up shots of heads and body parts ensures that spectator is subjected to the same disorientating and fragmented viewpoint as the lovers who roll about on the hillside kissing and making love.

In many ways this takes the pure optical situation that Deleuze philosophises in Italian neorealist cinema to a new power of abstraction. Not as a momentary break in the narrative momentum, where the spectator and the protagonists are subject to the time-images of everyday life, but as a visual synecdoche for the virtual perspective of a lost character who assumes a global subjectivity. The effect though is different. In contrast Antonioni blurs the boundaries of the subjective and the objective so that the filmic images are subjectively overdetermined as formations of consciousness.

The pure optical situations do not realise a circuitry with the virtually existing external world but with the virtual mental images of a global subjectivity. Italian neorealism laid the groundwork for this by realising the disjointed everyday experiences of its protagonists as cognitive experiences for the spectator through the disruption of narrative systems and their temporal codes. These images are at once external compositions of the landscape and figurations that project the internal feelings of his filmic subjects.

The wide-screen painterly compositions, the overly determined framings and the immobility of the camera, all contribute to the evocation of time-pressure in the shot that is oceanic in the way it washes over the landscape; mountains, the sky, the sea, the volcanic island.

This is both a sublime vision of nature and a meditation on the inner thoughts and feeling of the characters. The time that is affected in the landscapes also resonates within the characters as an intense source of entropic spiritual diffusion. In Lacanese this could be described as the extimate: the traumatic external materialisation of symbolic absence, the void in the structure of reality, realising itself at the subject's most intimate point in the lack that subtends subjective desire.

Although not wanting to complicate this notion further, let's at this juncture just assert that Antonioni's cinematic aesthetics converge the interiority of subjective sensation with the exteriority of the objective representation. Marga Cottiono-Jones ed. New York: Marsilio Publishers, , p.
