Hey, I finally watched this. My first impression was that I really liked it - and I wasn't sure I would. What really struck me was how Scarlett Johansson has hardly any lines at all and yet she manages to convey everything so beautifully. I can kinda see what you mean about missing heart and soul - it's not a very "warm" movie. I'd give it four out of five stars.
I also enjoyed La Notte, though I might only rate that 3 out of 5. I appreciated the ambience very much, but it's probably not something I'd sit through again. It's vaguely similar to Virginia Woolf in that both films are about dysfunctional marriages, but that's about where the similarities end. The scene where Giovanni and Lidia are in the nightclub watching the dancers, with the lady balancing the glass of wine on her heard while she contorts herself, is probably one of my favorite scenes in a movie, ever.
