Yet another of my cinematic idols, Michelangelo Antonioni, died today at the age of 94. Antonioni was the director of films such as "Blow-Up", "L'Avventura", "L'Eclisse" and "Red Desert". His films were beautiful, languid portraits that explored the alienation, monotony and boredom of modern post-industrial life and were a huge influence on many of today's greatest filmmakers, including Tsai Ming-Liang, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Gus Van Zant, and many others. He was one of the last true poets of cinema and will be greatly missed.
OBITUARY IN THE NY TIMES
Not a great week to be an aging genius filmmaker whose heyday was in the 60's. If Godard goes this week, I'm probably going to lose it.

This can't have effect in actual fact, that's exactly what I think.
