His reputation for grim depictions of alienation, languid long takes and elliptical narratives makes Michelangelo Antonioni (1912-2007) one of the more controversial filmmakers of the 20th Century. But the filmmaker was foremost a sensualist who valued dense atmosphere and sumptuous visuals as cues for emotions, rather than straightforward plot points and overdramatised scenarios and acting. Though his earlier works fall within the tradition of Italian neorealism, he quickly broke away from norm by focusing on bourgeois dissatisfaction and the distancing of emotions. He would go on to international success with acclaimed English-language titles, but a stroke in 1985 essentially halted his productivity. HKIFF salutes the master’s timeless creative vision with this comprehensive retrospective.
