Re: That would be some scary schoolgirl! Actually, how you could think

True indeed, but I was speaking not of Vitti's heart, but rather of Antonioni's.

The lush sentimental transports necessary to produce the kind of elaborately bleak and disconnected heroine that Vitti embodies in L'Eclisse, can be produced only by an exquisitely sensitive teenage idealism completely stoned on its own sexual passion.

And a certain inate sympathy for french stuff seems to help too.

Take a look at Goth culture for another expression of this same accute sentimentallity, which perhaps by coincidence is also often afflicted with francophilic impulses.
