Poetry and motion: the film art of Michelangelo Antonioni
With L`Avventura he piqued the world`s curiosity. With La Notte and L`Eclisse, he mystified audiences and broke hearts. With Red Desert, his first color picture, he blurred all the lines between art, cinema, and still photography. Continuing his creative explosion with Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point, The Passenger, and The Identification of a Woman, Michelangelo Antonioni cemented his reputation as the most innovative and artistic filmmaker of his generation. With a plethora of illustrations, drawn in part from Antonioni`s own archives, this book explores his life and career from his earliest documentaries to his latest collaborations.

"Les éditions TASCHEN présentent trois nouveaux ouvrages dans la collection des filmographies complètes. L’Italien Michelangelo Antonioni, l’Américain Stanley Kubrick et le Français François Truffaut sont les trois cinéastes mis en lumière. Loin de se contenter d’une simple filmographie commentée, ces très beaux livres proposent une analyse poussée des univers des réalisateurs. Les différents chapitres sont illustrés de photos de films toutes agrémentées d’anecdotes de tournages. Truffaut «auteur de film», Antonioni «l’investigation» et Kubrick «poète visuel»: ces sous-titres montrent la singularité des carrières de ces personnalités. Une collection que tout cinéphile se doit de posséder dans sa bibliothèque pour (re)découvrir les grands noms qui ont révolutionné l’histoire du septième art."
