Michelangelo Antonioni: Pessimistic Auteur of Italian Cinema

Michelangelo Antonioni, one of the most important directors that Italy has raised after the Second World War, has gained a special place in the world cinema with his pessimistic stories that deal with human relations that have become his exclusive cinema language and signature. Let’s take a look at the general features of Antonioni Cinema, which inspired many filmmakers who came after him.

The Black Dahlia (2006)

The Black Dahlia: Real and unsolved murder committed in Hollywood

We love Brian De Palma. He is an expert. Nice has signed the classics. But he must admit that he has already dropped from the diameter. We may have liked Snake Eyes or Femme Fatale, but these are the movies that the majority of the world have sniffed. Mission Impossible is enjoyable, but only in the grid. It is discouraging that 20 years have passed since the Untouchables and the only major film the director has produced in this process is Carlito’s Way.

Fame (2009)

Fame is supposedly about becoming well-known based on real talent

The awful truth about no one from the Fame movie or TV show going on to become famous may not yet have dawned on the cast of this new and bizarrely pointless remake. Because there they all are, a whole new generation of volatile, yearning unknowns, now with mobile phones instead of leg-warmers, but basically it’s the same deal. And they are all eagerly signing on for the curse of Fame, like a happy band of cult hippies following Jim Jones into the jungle.

All you should need to know on Suspiria 1977

All you should need to know on Suspiria 1977

The cult horror movie Suspiria (1977), despite overturning 40 years, still maintains its experimental stance with its formal features that are contrary to its period and today. We can compare Suspiria, the first trilogy that Dario Argento tells about witches, to a fairytale nightmare with the use of color, decor and music. Although it is an Italian movie, it has managed to make a sound all over the world.

Walkabout (1971)

Released in 1971, Walkabout was hailed as a masterpiece

Is “Walkabout” only about what it seems to be about? Is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers? That’s what the film’s surface seems to suggest, but I think it’s also about something deeper and more elusive: The mystery of communication. It ends with lives that are destroyed, in one way or another, because two people could not invent a way to make their needs and dreams clear.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)

Picturesque innocence of Pelagia’s love in Eden-like setting

Just two years ago, we left Hugh Grant lounging in a Notting Hill square, with a pregnant Julia Roberts snuggling up to him, and, like millions of others, he was reading a paperback with that unmistakable Mediterranean-blue jacket design. It was a cute bit of advance product placement for production company Working Title’s next project: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, the story of a lovely young Greek woman and her affair, during the second world war, with a captain from the occupying Italian forces.
