Michelangelo Antonioni, one of the most innovative and distinctive film-makers of the 20th century, has died at the age of 94. The Italian director died at his home in Rome on Monday evening, less than 24 hours after the death of Ingmar Bergman - that other great giant of European art-house cinema.

i just got into antonioni, having purchased the passenger recently w/ out ever having seen it. it seemed like one of those rare films you could take a gamble on + be paid handsomely. needless to say, it was a risk worth taking.
