My favorites from the Italian Modernist

I had the indulgence of seeing Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Blow-Up” on HD last week. Again that is. This was probably my 7th or 8th time but watching this masterpiece from the Italian modernist filmmaker in high definition glory just blew me away. After all, according to cinema critic Richard Corliss, this was the movie that defied conventions and “helped liberate Hollywood from its puritanical prurience”!

So, now that you know my love for this celebrated filmmaker, I present below some of his very best movies or rather my personal Top 5 for your reading pleasure. feedback here or at the blog requested.

I'm an Antonioni fan too, you might want to re-visit Red Desert. It blows away ZP.

My top three are definitely Eclipse, Red Desert and Blow-Up.

I've spent the summer rewatching all his films. I need to still see The Passenger (which I really liked before), Identification of a Woman (I've seen but Have no memory of) and La Notte (coming in mail via netflcks. I've seen it before, but it didn't stand out.)

Dictated, but not read.
