Here is an update. I have now gone through the entire movie with Gene Youngblood's commentary. He absolutely loves this movie and pointed out many subtleties that I would not have caught.
I dug up the original New York Times review from 1961 and it captured my initial impressions pretty exactly. The reviewer was puzzled and not very impressed.
However, now armed with the knowledge of what Antonioni was doing scene by scene, I believe this will reward repeated viewings.
L'Eclisse just came out last week on a Criterion DVD, probably the same commentator. He does warn in this movie that by L'Eclisse, Antonioni had completely dropped all music and had cut back on dialogue as well. Eventually, I may be ready to give it a try.
The only Antonioni I had seen up to now was Blow Up and The Passenger. This is quite different from those of course.
