Biographical / Historical
Michelangelo Antonioni was born September 29, 1912, in Ferrera, Italy. Best known for his "trilogy on modernity and its discontents"— L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and Eclipse (1962) — Antonioni "redefined the concept of narrative cinema," and he challenged traditional approaches to storytelling, realism, drama, and the world at large. Antonioni received numerous awards and nominations throughout his career, including the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize (1960, 1962), Palme d'Or (1966), and 35th Anniversary Prize (1982); the Venice Film Festival Silver Lion (1955), Golden Lion (1964), FIPRESCI Prize (1964, 1995), and Pietro Bianchi Award (1998); the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon eight times; and an honorary Academy Award in 1995. He died on July 30, 2007, at the age of 94.
