...KENNEDY ROUND: The Geneva tariff negotiations, originally proposed by President Kennedy, and aimed at history's deepest international tariff cuts, have been stalled by the French boycott of EEC. The bargaining cannot resume until the EEC fixes its farm prices, because the U.S. insists that farm as well as industrial products be included. Europe is under pressure to move swiftly, because the law enabling the U.S. to negotiate expires July 1, 1967. Meantime, the Germans insist that they cannot afford to pay the EEC treasury big farm subsidies, which will chiefly enrich French farmers, unless their industries can profit...
...Pechiney put up half the capital, has nine men on the 18-member board of directors, among them its own director-general, Pierre Jouven, who is chairman of the new company. What drew Pechiney to Greece, aside from the plentiful bauxite? Cheap labor, one of the Mediterranean's deepest harbors at Antikyra, and the Greek government's promise to supply low-cost electricity...
Adrenal Tides. Such time-zone crossings foul up man's daily physiological cycles, the "circadian rhythms"* that are still one of nature's deepest mysteries.

Giuliana reveals her deepest fantasy to her little son, and the setting changes to an unspoiled beach where water, previously shown as polluted, is shown as clear and clean. The small, white sailboat which appears, in contrast to the grimy oil tankers which have drifted through the film before, represents escape and freedom. The rock formations along the shore, like the rocks in L'Aventurra, have a shape and character which nearly animates them. Antonioni, by this purely visual statement, gives us an idyllic alternative with which to measure the industrial world, either sordid or sterile, in which we live...
...closing shots, when Franca shoots Pierre in a cafe, Truffaut has the spectators almost comically rise en masse to disrupt your sympathies once again. The director of The Soft Skin will not permit you your comfortable catharsis. Rather you must leave the theatre with the deepest feeling of hollowness which is far more painful and--I believe--honest...
