More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
I've made films about the middle classes because I know them best. Everyone talks about what he knows best.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A man who renounces something is also a man who believes in something.
Michelangelo Antonioni
When man becomes reconciled to nature, when space becomes his true background, these words and concepts will have lost their meaning, and we will no longer have to use them.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The struggle for life is not only the material and economic one. Comfort is no protection from anxiety.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Nothing regarding man is ever inhuman. That's why I make films, not iceboxes.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A director is a man, therefore he has ideas he is also an artist, therefore he has imagination. Whether they are good or bad, it seems to me that I have an abundance of stories to tell. And the things I see, the things that happen to me, continually renew the supply.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The script is simply a series of notes for the film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Actors are always a little high at work. Acting is their drug. So when you put the brakes on, they're naturally a little disappointed.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The family today counts for less and less. Why? Who knows - the growth of science, the Cold War, the atomic bomb, the world war we've made, the new philosophies we've created certainly something is happening to man, so why go against it, why oblige this new man to live by the mechanisms and regulations of the past?
Michelangelo Antonioni
Violence is not the only means of persuasion.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Before each new setup, I chase everyone off the set in order to be alone and look through the camera. In that moment, the film seems quite easy. But then the others come in and everything becomes difficult.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A film you can explain in words is not a real film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
We know that behind every image revealed there is another image more faithful to reality, and in the back of that image there is another, and yet another behind the last one, and so on, up to the true image of that absolute, mysterious reality that no one will ever see.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I can't give any absolute definition of what love is, or even whether it ought to exist.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Life should be taken ironically otherwise, it becomes a tragedy.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Everyone has understood me in his own way. But I would have to understand myself first in order to judge - and so far, I haven't.
Michelangelo Antonioni
In any case, the idea of giving all of reality is overly simple and absurd.
Michelangelo Antonioni
