The Films of Michelangelo Antonioni

Description

The Films of Michelangelo Antonioni provides an overview of the Italian director's life and work, and examines six of his most important and intellectually challenging films. L'avventura, La notte, and L'eclisse, released in the early 1960s, form the trilogy that first brought the director to international attention. Red Desert was his first film in color. Blow-up, shot in English and set in swinging London, became one of the best-known (and most notorious) films of its era. The Passenger, starring Jack Nicholson, is the greatest work of his maturity. 01.0_pp_i_viii_Frontmatter 02.0_pp_ix_x_Contents 03.0_pp_xi_xii_List_of_Illustrations 04.0_pp_xiii_xiv_Acknowledgments 05.0_pp_1_27_Introduction 06.0_pp_28_51_Lavventura_1960 07.0_pp_52_72_La_notte_1961 08.0_pp_73_89_Leclisse_1962 09.0_pp_90_108_Red_Desert_1964 10.0_pp_109_126_Blow-up_1966 11.0_pp_127_146_The_Passenger_1975 12.0_pp_147_154_Filmography 13.0_pp_155_180_Notes 14.0_pp_181_182_Selected_Bibliography 15.0_pp_183_186_Index
