The Rhythms of Life: An Appreciation of Michelangelo Antonioni, Extreme Aesthete of the Real
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This essay assesses Antonioni's oeuvre in its totality, focusing in particular on its constant negotiation of two extremes: documentary and melodrama. The essay argues that Antonioni's is a visionary project which, by achieving a genuine encounter between art and technology, extends an earlier tradition of the European avant-garde.
