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...
