The Films of Michelangelo Antonioni
The Vision that Changed Cinema

One of the few artists credited with creating a new language of cinema, Michelangelo Antonioni remains enormously influential, yet impossible to imitate. While many of his Italian contemporaries used Neo-Realism to address political issues of the day, Antonioni developed a new approach: one that directly attacked problems within society and human interactions, while using a supremely confident visual style. Never content to work on a small canvas, Antonioni explored weighty issues and set his characters amidst stark and unfeeling landscapes, significantly, the Po Valley region. Yet central to all his work is a need to see, to understand, and to interpret the world around him.

All films directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, in Italian with English subtitles unless otherwise noted. All new prints courtesy of Cinecittà Holding unless otherwise noted. Presented with Cinecittà Holding and with the generous support of the Italian Institute of Culture in Melbourne.
