Antonioni and Neorealism Back at University i studied some Italian cinema, but living in Asia for several years i lost interest. Returning to Europe this year i started watching some French and Italian movies again. I first watched La Piscine a few weeks ago, which was great, and then last week I saw La Notte an Italian film by Antonioni. This film started what later became my obsession with the actress Monica Vitti who also played in L’Eclisse, another Antonioni film. It was so good I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I wish I could describe why I like these films but I’m not really a good critic I have to be honest. All I can say is that I love the way Antonioni captures the beauty and art of landscapes and the people enveloped in them, especially with actors such as Monica Vitta and Alain Delon. Does anyone else share a like for Antonioni, or any other neorealist films/directors? Or am i just crazy?
