Journal 67 – The Italian poet with a camera passed away

Today is date July 31, 2007. Michelangelo Antonioni, one of Italy’s most famous and influential film-makers, passed away in Rome. He was 94. Some consider that he was the cinematic father of modern alienation. Critics state that Antonioni’s best films The Adventure, 1960, and The Nigth, 1960, concern people who have lost their purpose in life despite financial success. I am interested in this problem. At the present, many people suffer for these reasons. I would like to see these movies.
Antonioni has achieved international acclaim with Blow-Up, 1966, and his first English language film The Passenger, 1975.
I didn’t know Michelangelo Antonioni before.
