This was the last Antonioni's work featuring Monica Vitti, and his first color film.
I have to admit, the word "color" scares me when considering the director's B&W films - given their perfection it is natural to see the color as an unnecessary embellishment. And to me it was a distraction. I thought the film lost some directness.
I know it has received plenty of acclaim... but personally I am reluctant to grout it with the other three. To me they tend to stand alone.
Follow Ups:
I think can be forgiven for... giving meaning to "Red!"
The sickening colors added a lot to the feeling of the film, I'd say--- and can you imagine his future works, "The Passenger" or "Blow-up" in B&W?
Those scenes of the partiers on the dock are about as decadent a picture of society as I can picture--- Pasolini w/out the ultra-vulgarity and therefore more "approachable."

The Discrete Charm, with their endless walks along the deserted road.
Now that you mentioned it... I dunno... A B&W Passenger? Heck, you can easily try that with modern technology! :) Might be intriguing. I have a superb Sony projector that I never use, and 110" screen... I think there is a B&W setting there.
