Michelangelo Antonioni is, alongside his compatriots Visconti, Fellini and Pasolini, among the great figures of modern cinema. While L'Awentura, L'Eclipse, Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point and Profession: Reporter are famous titles known to most, the life and a large part of the director's work remain shrouded in mystery. This book therefore aims, through the very rich archives preserved in Ferrara, his hometown, and presented for the first time in France at the Cinémathèque Française, to lift a corner of the veil on this filmmaker often described as elusive: personal documents and excerpts from correspondence, location notebooks and photos from the shoot, photograms and press clippings allow us to follow the creative work as well as the man's private life. Furthermore, it is through his incredible pictoriality that the modernity of his cinema is revealed, echoing artists such as De Chirico, Morandi, Pollock and Rothko, and resonating in all contemporary creation.
