"A filmmaker is a man like any other; and yet his life is not the same. . . . This is, I think, a special way of being in contact with reality." Or so says Michelangelo Antonioni, the legendary filmmaker behind the stark landscapes and social alienation of Blow-Up and L'Avventura, who here reveals his idiosyncratic relationship with reality in The Architecture of Vision.

Through autobiographical sketches, theoretical essays, interviews, and conversations with such luminaries as Jean-Luc Godard and Alberto Moravia, this compelling volume explores the director's unique brand of narrative-defying cinema as well as the motivations and anxieties of the man behind the camera.

"The Architecture of Vision provides a filmmaker's absorbing reflections and insights on his career. . . . Antonioni's comments . . . deepen and humanize a sometimes cerebral book."--Publishers Weekly

"[Antonioni's] erudition is astonishing . . . few of his peers can match his verbal articulateness."--Film Quarterly

"This valuable resource offers entrée to material difficult to gain access to under other circumstances."--Library Journal

Об авторе (2007)

Michelangelo Antonioni was born in Italy in 1912, graduated from the University of Bologna, studied cinema in Rome, and started out in films as a critic and screenwriter. When he made his first feature films in the 1950s, he broke away from the neo-realism then in vogue in Italy. Rather, in a rigorously disciplined style, he explored the interior states of the isolated men and women in such films as La Notte (1960), L'Eclipse (1961), and The Red Desert (1964). Although Antonioni's films are usually about the prosperous classes, his only social criticism is oblique. 'Avventura (1959), his sixth film, established his fame internationally as an original artist. His English-language films are Blow-Up (1966), set in mod London, and Zabriskie Point (1970), an apocalyptic vision of contemporary American youth and its politics. His last notable film is The Passenger (1975). Michelangelo Antonioni is an Italian filmmaker who received an Academy Award for lifetime achievement in 1995. He has directed more than thirty films, including L'Avventura, The Passenger, and Blow-Up.
