Michelangelo Antonioni’s films are characterised by a sense of alienation, a lack of closure and a sense of personal loss. In his first three films, “Le notti del conte” (1955), “I vitelloni” (1961) and “Il deserto rosso” (1964), there is an exploration of the unconscious and its relation to the world around us.
He is best known for his "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" [1] — L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and L'Eclisse (1962)—and the English-language film Blowup (1966).
Together with Fellini, Bergman and Kurosawa, Michelangelo Antonioni is credited with defining the modern art film. And yet Antonioni's cinema is also recognized today for defying any easy categorization, with his films ultimately seeming to belong to their own distinctive genre.
