Yes, there was a "Antonioni RIP" thread earlier this week to commemorate the master's death on July 30. About two years ago, I made an Antonioni accolade:

Now I want to know what people's favorite Antonioni movies were and why. Myself, I tend to favor L'Eclisse (1962) and The Passenger (1975). |

I think I've only seen Blowup, but it was marvelous!

I haven't seen very many of them (I have a few on my to-do list though), but I saw The Passenger a couple of years ago and thought it was excellent. Why? Hmmm.... Hard to say, but it may have something to do with even pacing (which made it feel like a journey, which it was), and the long takes. It was lean, i.e, no wasted dialogue, which kept it gripping. Visually stunning too. Actually I can't think of anything wrong with it, hence I liked it.
Oh yeah, and there's nothing wrong with putting Maria Schneider in a movie either.  |

Last Tango in Paris and The Passenger are the only two worthwhile movies with Maria Schneider. Something about her and Italian directors and the 1970s, I guess. |
