The Films of Michelangelo Antonioni provides an overview of the Italian
director's life and work, and examines six of his most important and
intellectually challenging films. L'avventura, La notte, and L'eclisse,
released in the early 1960s, form the trilogy that first brought the
director to international attention. Red Desert was his first film in
color. Blow-up, shot in English and set in swinging London, became one
of the best-known (and most notorious) films of its era. The Passenger,
starring Jack Nicholson, is the greatest work of his maturity.
