Imortais

Um cineasta é um homem porque tem ideias; é um artista porque tem imginação. Michelangelo Antonioni
[29 Setembro 1912 - 30 Julho 2007]


O cinema europeu ficou muito mais pobre com o desaparecimento, em menos de 24 horas, de dois seus nomes maiores: Ingmar Bergman e Michelangelo Antonioni.

Do obituário de Antonioni publicado pelo inglês Guardian:
"At the Oscars ceremony in March 1995, the year of Forrest Gump, he received an honorary Oscar in recognition of his career from the hands of Jack Nicholson (chosen of course because he had been the star of The Passenger). After handing over the award, Nicholson asked him if there was a young American director of today he liked (it was the year of Pulp Fiction, which was to lose out that night to Forrest Gump). Antonioni mumbled a "no", pointed to Jack as maybe his choice, and everyone laughed."

O jornal sublinha, apontando para o You Tube, algumas das melhores cenas filmadas por Antonioni.
Os imortais não morrem.
