Michelangelo Antonioni (September 29, 1912 – July 30, 2007) was an Italian modernist film director whose films are widely considered as some of the most influential in film aesthetics. Here's what I know about the auteur; what do you know?
| | Was a debter of Italian neorealism. |
| | Burglars stole an Oscar, awarded for career achievement, from his Rome apartment during the Christmas holidays in 1996. |
| | 1940, worked as an editorial secretary for "Cinema", an entertainment magazine published by the Fascist Entertainment Guild, and edited by the son of Benito Mussolini. |
| | 1985 suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak. He was unable to finish any film project until 1995, when he released Al di là delle nuvole, co-directed by German director Wim Wenders. |
| | His films were extremely influential on subsequent art films: "more than any other director, he encouraged filmmakers to explore elliptical and open-ended narrative". |

I don't really care for Antonioni's films. The open-ended narratives drive me nuts!
