Michelangelon Antonioni 3-film boxset(2006-09-01) Story of a Love Affair – The Lady Without Camelias – The Red Desert.
An essential look at 15 conclusive years in Antonioni’s career.
3 masterpieces testifying for the radicalisation of his work.
3 ruthless stories about the loneliness, the broken dreams and the uncertainty of Man.
3 portraits of 3 women who are tasting the bitterness of Fate.
3 close-ups on Life as a moment of cinema, between illusion and disillusion, on the cruel ways it takes to learn how to be human, on renunciation and doubt as the only possible path for whom is looking for Answers.
There is no absolute in Antonioni’s work.
Dreams of happiness, naive love promises are chains which his characters must get free from, in order to be alive, to grow up accepting that the restlessness of the soul stands within its nature. In these movies, the only way for the heart and the mind to find a necessary rest is to admit that the Absolute does not exist.
This 3 DVD-boxset gives an opportunity to focus on the transformations of Antonioni’s work until his modern manifesto “The Red Desert”. No English subtitles unfortunately on this edition (Carlotta Films).
