The Oberwald Mystery must count as one such. The coloring of the characters is more silly than artistically satisfying, especially the blue filtering perpetually placed over the villainous head of the government's secret police. The ghostly images are puzzling. The switch of backgrounds is sometimes too subtle to be effective, otherwise too obvious in its intentions. Moreover, the visual quality of videotape is too poor to stand up to a 35mm blowup.
Sudden movements cause easily visible breakup of the image into scan lines.
And, as usual, video lends a flat, boring texture to almost any scene. Antonioni might simply be ahead of his time in the use of videotape. For some years, Hollywood filmmakers have been talking about high-definition videotape, and extolling its virtues. The results have not been too impressive, so far. The special effects Antonioni incorporates through the use of special video processing machines are no great shakes.
