Yuri Tsivian's comment:
Shots under the credits sequence and under the end title included.
Just one mistake made in the penultimate shot -- my finger overreacted mistaking a photographer's flash for a cut. So this incredibly slow movie in a fraction of a second slower than the ASL number shows.

Change height to 1000 to see the profile of Antonioni's slowest film. Turn color on to appreciate the difference in take lengths beteeen talking shots (ASL 62.2 sec) and silent ones (ALS 21.3 sec) -- the latter ones are mostly simple comings and goings (or drivings up or off) often accompanied by a noir-ish music. In the later Antonioni the stress will famously change to the comings and goings at the expense of dialog scenes. And the ASL will drop tenfold.
