Antonioni, pace

I'm knee deep in pre-production for Red Hook. Learning everything it takes to put a movie together.

Several months ago, Adam and I got Essential Art House - 50 Years of Janus Films. We have been going through the films one by one, and recently watched Antonioni's L'Avventura. After it's original showing at Cannes in 1960, people booed and walked out, Roberto Rossellini and other filmmakers registered their support, “Aware of the exceptional importance of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film, ‘L’Avventura,’ and appalled by the displays of hostility it has aroused, the undersigned critics and members of the profession are anxious to express their admiration for the maker of this film.”

Antonioni died Monday at age 94 in Rome.
