Michelangelo Antonioni : Confronting the Modern World with Style @ BFI Southbank until 28 February 
 

Antonioni profoundly influenced cinematic style, mood and outlook. Don’t miss the BFI’s retrospective to this Italian master. Highlights include an extended run of his haunting film The Passenger, featuring a magnetic Jack Nicholson as the jaded journalist who swaps his identity – with dangerous consequences.

“Until the film is edited, I have no idea myself what it will be about... Perhaps the film will only be a mood, or a statement about a style of life”

With their groundbreaking style and distinctive worldview, the influential films of Michelangelo Antonioni feel strangely timeless.

Never really a neo-realist, the former critic quickly established himself with a striking series of features notable for their visual elegance, narrative subtlety, and cool yet compassionate fascination with people striving to find satisfaction in a modern world devoted to material wellbeing, ‘progress’ and fleeting passions and fashions. Wary of melodrama and genre, Antonioni focused on mood, gesture and environment; silence was as meaningful as dialogue, and figures moved through landscapes that spoke volumes about longing, spiritual listlessness and solitude. In 1960, with the controversial L’avventura, his importance as an experimental innovator was recognised internationally: with its enigmatic characters and ambiguous storylines, its long shots and long takes, its chic costumes, distracted dancing and casual sex, modern art-cinema had truly arrived.
