Another great loss to the film world.

Amazingly, Antonioni was still working and supposedly had another film in pre-production.

I have a friend who is completely obsessed with L'AVVENTURA and Monica Vitti, not necessarily in that order.

R.I.P.























...Anna?

Hmm, two classic directors in just two days. We may be dealing with a serial killer here.

RIP Michelangelo Antonioni from the silver screen to the silver cloud. He was indeed good.

Quote from: IMDB
French actor Michel Serrault has died. He was 79. The movie star passed away at his home in Honfleur, France after a long illness on Sunday. Serrault garnered worldwide critical acclaim for his performance in 1978 comedy movie La Cage Aux Folles - the film was nominated for three Oscars and the actor won the first of three Cesars for the film. After beginning his career on the stage, he began working on a cabaret act with playwright Jean Poiret which proved a huge success in the music halls of Paris. But it wasn't until Serrault landed a role in Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1954 French thriller Les Diaboliques that he hit the big screen. He was married with two daughters - one of whom passed away in a car crash in 1977.
