Definitely agreed.
Check this one out when you get a chance, Disease. Great film.

L'avventura (1960)
It took me a couple watches to really come around to Antonioni's message and technique here. It's a barren film, but appropriately so, as it deals with the idle upper class, the emptiness they try to fill with interaction (in this case, love). They float through life, eyes glazed, unable to perceive any real depth in themselves and others, trying only to satisfy their boredom as to not disappear.
A truly affecting classic.
