More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
In any case, the idea of giving all of reality is overly simple and absurd.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The struggle for life is not only the material and economic one. Comfort is no protection from anxiety.
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
I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Reality has a quality of freedom about it that is hard to explain.
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
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
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
Violence is not the only means of persuasion.
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
Nothing regarding man is ever inhuman. That's why I make films, not iceboxes.
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 would throw out the sense of nation, good breeding, certain forms and ceremonies that govern relationships - perhaps even jealousy. We're not aware of all of them yet, though we suffer from them. And they mislead us not only about ethics but also about aesthetics.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Life should be taken ironically otherwise, it becomes a tragedy.
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
A man who renounces something is also a man who believes in something.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I can't give any absolute definition of what love is, or even whether it ought to exist.
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
I'm not rich and maybe I'll never be rich. Money is useful - yes - but I don't worship it.
Michelangelo Antonioni
