GIANNI DI VENANZO's photography - screen caps

I very glad you took the time to post these pics.

When soemone asks me what are the best looking films I've seen, I always remember La Notte leaving a sharp impression on me.

Many shots just take the breath away. I also think Kurosawa's Sanjuro particularly stands out, and the framing and composition reminds me a little of La Notte. Heads, limbs, shadows, all arranged in a striking fashion.

Wow! Thank you...

WOW! Thank you! I thought the cinematography is magnificent for this film and to tell you the truth, that's the only thing that hook me to this film.


"Well, we put in wine because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea it has a distinct odor."

Thanks for the caps!


This film is a real masterpiece and it has indeed an excellent cinematography. Antonioni was a master, no doubt about that!

No doubt. I am with you. And I am not so much with that other post. And grasped it correctly, in between I was always thinking it actually would be (traditional) theatre. The way the figures are placed, static, and well-arranged. Plus, due to the medium, many additional perspectives and postures became available, and yet in a not-so-movie-but-theatre-style.
Plus, as you also wrote, some items that need to be in motion. Just watch it again and count the amount of the small human being above, below, behind, underneath a huge penetrating wall, window, balcony, etc.
