Michelangelo Red Antonioni Blue. Eight Reflections on Cinema

Sobre el libro Michelangelo Red Antonioni Blue. Eight Reflections on Cinema de Murray Pomerance publicado por California al 2011:

Michelangelo Antonioni, who died in 2007, was one of cinema´s greatest modernist filmmakers. The films in his black and white trilogy of the early 1960s--L´avventura, La Notte, L´eclisse--are justly celebrated for their influential, gorgeously austere style. But in this book, Murray Pomerance demonstrates why the color films that followed are, in fact, Antonioni´s greatest works. Writing in an accessible style that evokes Antonioni´s expansive use of space, Pomerance discusses The Red Desert, Blow-Up, Professione: Reporter (The Passenger), Zabriskie Point, Identification of a Woman, The Mystery of Oberwald, Beyond the Clouds, and The Dangerous Thread of Things to analyze the director´s subtle and complex use of color. Infusing his open-ended inquiry with both scholarly and personal reflection, Pomerance evokes the full range of sensation, nuance, and equivocation that became Antonioni´s signature.
