More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
Normally, however, I try to avoid repetitions of any shot.
Michelangelo Antonioni
When a scene is being shot, it is very difficult to know what one wants it to say, and even if one does know, there is always a difference between what one has in mind and the result on film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
In Blow-up I used my head instinctively!
Michelangelo Antonioni
The script is simply a series of notes for the film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
That love is a conflict seems to me obvious and natural. There isn't a single worthwhile work in world literature based on love that is only about the conquest of happiness, the effort to arrive at what we call love. It's the struggle that has always interested those who produce works of art - literature, cinema or poetry.
Michelangelo Antonioni
My work is like digging, it's archaeological research among the arid materials of our times. That's how I understand my first films, and that's what I'm still doing...
Michelangelo Antonioni
I believe in the autobiographical concept only to the degree that I am able to put onto film all that's passing through my head at the moment of shooting.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A film you can explain in words is not a real film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Often to understand, we have to look into emptiness.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Nothing regarding man is ever inhuman. That's why I make films, not iceboxes.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I've always dreamed of getting to know the women of other countries better. When I was a boy, I remember, I used to get angry at the thought that I did not know German or American or Swedish women.
Michelangelo Antonioni
One of the problems of the future world will be the use of leisure time. How will it be filled up? Maybe drugs will be distributed free of charge by the government.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I've never had a method of working. I change according to circumstances I don't employ any particular technique or style. I make films instinctively, more with my belly than with my brain.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I am neither a sociologist nor a politician. All I can do is imagine for myself what the future will be like.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Life should be taken ironically otherwise, it becomes a tragedy.
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
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 forget about the relationship between myself and any actress when working with her.
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 greatest danger for those working in the cinema is the extraordinary possibility it offers for lying.
Michelangelo Antonioni
