Antonioni
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.

"Filmbücher, die nicht nur den Kopf, sondern auch das Auge befriedigen, sind eher rar gesät. Eine Ausnahme bildet da eine prächtig ausgestattete Reihe mit Monographien zu namhaften Regisseuren, die in Szenenbildern aus Filmen und Standfotos von Dreharbeiten geradezu schwelgt ... Das ist gut angelegtes Geld, wenn man sich einen Überblick über das Filmschaffen von Regielegenden wie Michelangelo Antonioni, Stanley Kubrick oder Billy Wilder verschaffen möchte. Leben und Karriere der Filmemacher werden in einem umfassenden Überblick gewürdigt, und auch das Bildmaterial, das teilweise aus den Archiven der Regisseure selbst stammt, ist einzigartig."
