More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
In Blow-up I used my head instinctively!
Michelangelo Antonioni
Often to understand, we have to look into emptiness.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A man who renounces something is also a man who believes in something.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The struggle for life is not only the material and economic one. Comfort is no protection from anxiety.
Michelangelo Antonioni
All I know is that we are loaded down with old and stale stuff - habits, customs, old attitudes already dead and gone.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
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'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
In any case, the idea of giving all of reality is overly simple and absurd.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Sometimes actors' mistakes give me ideas I can use, because mistakes are always sincere, absolutely sincere.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The script is simply a series of notes for the film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A woman's sex appeal is an inner matter. It stems from her mental make-up, basically. It's an attitude, not just a question of her physical features - that arrogant quality in a woman's femininity. Otherwise, all beautiful women would have sex appeal, which is not so.
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 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
I read somewhere that happiness is like the bluebird of Maeterlinck: Try to catch it and it loses its color. It's like trying to hold water in your hands. The more you squeeze it, the more the water runs away.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I simply know what the actor's attitude should be and what he should say. He doesn't, because he can't see the relationship that begins to exist between his body and the other things in the scene.
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
A film that can be described in words is not really a film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Reality has a quality of freedom about it that is hard to explain.
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?
