Remembering Michelangelo Antonioni on his birthday 🎂
📷 Raymond Depardon, 1970
"The enigmas in Antonioni’s work are as subject to time as monuments are to erosion, & the achievements of some films can offset or explain the apparent, or early, limits of others."
- David Thomson Image
Michelangelo Antonioni by Santi Visalli, 1975
"I need to follow my characters beyond the moments conventionally considered important, to show them even when everything appears to have been said." Image

Michelangelo Antonioni by Elliott Erwitt
Rome, 1965
"Antonioni embodied a time in mid-century when cinemagoing was an intellectual pursuit, when purposely opaque passages in famously difficult films spurred long nights of smoky argument at sidewalk cafés."
- Rick Lyman Image

Michelangelo Antonioni by Renaud Monfourny, 2000s
"He challenged moviegoers with an intense focus on intentionally vague characters and a disdain for such mainstream conventions as plot, pacing and clarity."

"His earlier films have made us think of Antonioni as vulnerable; he shouldn't have exposed himself like this."
- Roger Ebert
"A maligned masterpiece."
- David Jenkins Image
I just re-read Julio Cortázar's marvellous story "The Devil's Drool", aka "Blow-Up", based on a story told to him by photographer Sergio Larrain. It was the inspiration for Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up.

Remembering Vladimir Horowitz on his birthday 🎂
📷 Philippe Halsman, 1966
"The music is behind those dots. You search for it, and that is what I mean by the grand manner. I play, so to speak, from the other side of the score, looking back." Image
Vladimir Horowitz by Jack Mitchell, 1988
