If the same roll of film is exposed to X-ray inspections more than 5 times before it is developed, however, damage may occur.
Specialty film is defined as film with an ASA/ISO 800 or higher and typically used by professionals.

 Michelangelo Antonioni: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries
The problem arises because film, unlike print, operates in the audience's real time, and hence suggests that "story-time" (the time of the fictional events depicted) is always passing, whereas genuine description in novels evokes the sense of a pause in the story.
Antonioni's films are investigative in nature, reflecting his early experience as a journalist.

 Michelangelo Antonioni's film, "The Passenger"
Cinema is all movement; at its expressive best, film is like life, all flux and change, encompassing the sensation of growing, aging and shifts of perspective (that occur as a result of ripening wisdom).
SCENE: At the onset of the film, long lapses of silent desert dunes shot against the vast stillness of the sky indifferently witness the main character's attempts to track down the rebel leaders he wishes to interview for a documentary that is nearing completion.
The stranger travels incognito; as a passenger [riding in the back seat, as it were], he has learned to deal with the world from a distance, "objectively," as something indifferent and forever changing.

...in fact, it is that of L'Avventura, the film which introduced Antonioni to an American audience, and permanently earned him his reputation as either a heroically inaccessible leader of the avant-garde or a pretentiously attitudinizing herald of alienation, obscurity, and boredom...
...Whereas in earlier Antonioni films the mood and meaning gradually emerge from, and are an extension of, the plot, in The Passenger mood and meaning are needed to propel the plot: Locke's despair provides the only logic for his assuming Robertson's identity...
...What unites the three films is not any continuity of narrative or character, but their thematic concerns: taken together, they constitute the seminal expression of the loss of self, the death of feeling and ebbing of vitality-of alienation-in the modern cinema...

 Other Voices 1.3 (January 1999), Jack Turner "Antonioni's The Passenger as Lacanian Text"
In The Passenger, Rachel Locke asks her husband, David, a reporter (the film was originally titled "The Reporter"), why he did not point out that the president of an African nation was obviously lying during an interview.
The film works as a powerful psychological allegory that fits the framework of Lacan's primary matrix (Imaginary, Symbolic, Real) and even seems to be based on such a pattern, with Locke representing the Imaginary; his wife, Rachel, and his producer, Martin Knight, the Symbolic; and the Girl standing for the Real.
The Passenger itself, though a narrative and an absorbing one to "read," is ultimately a rejection of the accepted syntax of presentation in traditional narrative films, which cater to the illusions and identifications of the audience.

It was once said that one admires Michelangelo Antonioni's films without feeling fond of them; or one resists them, turning a blind eye to their beauty.
The film is beautifully shot by Luciano Tovoli in France, Spain and North Africa and intimates as much about the contemporary political situation as it does about the state of its protagonist's mind.
Curiously, at one point in the film, Schneider finds a gun in Nicholson's luggage and he takes it from her with a gruff "No." It fits the film, but it also fits the fact that Schneider shot Marlon Brando in Last Tango, the film that made her famous.

 Guitars - The Passenger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Unlike Antonioni's two attempts at capturing the personal alienation brought about by the cultural changes of the 60s--Zabriskie Point and Blow-Up--The Passenger is a signficantly more grounded film that focuses as well on alienation, but uses a diversity of foreign cultures to underline one man's alienation from life regardless of location.
The two films prior to The Passenger, also set outside the director's native country, but now obviously dated, tried using specific individual cultural settings (America and England) to highlight the emptiness of human behavior in the face of shallow cultural values.
The Passenger is a decidedly more timeless film because instead of focusing on a specific culture, it wisely focuses on an individual, a globe-trotting reporter, whose own focus is on war and revolution in third world nations.

In what is probably one of the earliest film adaptations of a Lord Peter Wimsey novel we have the great detective in action on a night time train.
You'll forgive the lack of detail as to the plot, but the film is so dull that other than bodies ending up in baskets or trunks, I've drawn a blank as to what actually occurred.
This is not a particularly good film and is so bland that unless I had noticed that this was based on a Wimsey book I would scarcely have suspected it.Obviously this film did little to popularize the detective, and happily it didn't kill his career either.

For many years, I've had the idea that if only all the passengers who came from Portugal to the U.S. (and to anywhere else, for that matter) were to be extracted from the passenger lists available for the many ports in the U.S., it would be a wonderful, and I daresay, a spectacular accomplishment.
This would allow people who have not been fortunate enough to learn from their parents and grandparents where they're ancestors were born and they would be able to finally do the exciting research that awaits them using Portuguese records.
