Antenna gives a snapshot of the 1970s. The film is a typical work by Ditvoorst: freedom of the individual, the desire for a utopia that does not come true, the lonely and misunderstood artist, the aversion to the state, bureaucracy and religious authorities, absurd side characters etc. The film has little dialogue and is largely told through the images of cameraman Jan de Bon

Although it was actually an impersonal commissioned film, the director's style is clearly recognizable. Once again he manages to make something that is normal very strange: the dancing people in costumes are filmed in such a way that they look bizarre and absurd. Jan de Bont's camerawork shows a series of color images of dancing people, edited to the rhythm of the music. Halfway through the film, a lonely clown can be seen among the dancing crowd, accompanied by sad music. This clown is played by Ditvoorst himself.
