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.

Not difficult to understand.

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.
