In Antonioni’s La Notte Moreau uses this mastery, which previously brought a new love life, to end a dying one. The film’s final sequence again finds Moreau, this time as Lidia, walking away from a love interest— Giovanni. Like Jeanne, Lidia refuses to look back at the man that trails behind her, but Lidia’s gaze is level, and focused on what’s ahead. She turns only momentarily to respond to Giovanni, matter-of-factly, and as she walks off screen she seems content to leave Giovanni behind. When
Michelangelo Antonioni has a broader claim. He argues morality, specifically in marriage, is outdated. Since man continues to use obsolete morals, however, he is unable to find happiness. Antonioni explores morality's harmful role in marriages in his films: La Notte and Red Desert.

Despite such disparities, Velázquez’s masterpiece was able to project a day in the life of the royal family while
