Michelangelo Antonioni

Michelangelo Antonioni

Date of Birth: 29 Sep 1912

Country: Italy

Biography: was born in 1912 into a middle-class family and grew up in bourgeois surroundings of the Italian province. In Bologna he studied economics and commerce while he painted and also wrote criticism for a local newspaper. In 1939 he went to Rome and worked for the journal "Cinema" studying directorship at the School of Cinema. As he was indebted to neorealism his films reflect his bourgeois roots like in his first movie Story of a Love Affair (1950) or The Lady Without Camelias (1953) or Le Amiche.

    The Gaze of Michelangelo
    The Gaze of Michelangelo (2004) - Short Film
    This 20-minute short is Michelangelo Antonioni's true final film and, for a master film-maker who has peerlessly studied (over almost a 55-year period) the inability of people to communicate between one another, it is appropriate that his last characters are himself - who has been debilitated by a stroke and deprived of speech and most bodily movement for practically 20 years - and the "inanimate" statues found in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

    "Errante Navegante" (Wandering Heart) intimately follows Caetano from São Paulo, New York to Japan, during the release of his first album recorded solely in English. It takes considerably more than a week-long series of shows at Carnegie Hall, accolades in the New York Times, or the admiration of friends like Pedro Almodóvar, David Byrne and Michelangelo Antonioni to make Caetano feel comfortable outside of Brazil (imdb)
