Awards

Michelangelo Antonioni

Michelangelo Antonioni is an Italian film director and screenwriter. He received numerous awards, including an Honorary Academy Award in 1995 and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 1997 Venice Film Festival. Along with Robert Altman, Henri-Georges Clouzot, and Jean-Luc Godard, he is one of the only directors to have won the top three prizes at the major European film festivals of Cannes, Berlin and Venice. A key figure in modern cinema since his debut in 1950 with Story of a Love Affair, a film that marked the end of neorealism and the beginning of a new era in Italian cinema, Antonioni wrote some of the most intense and profound pages of 1960s and 1970s cinema, particularly with his famous Trilogy on Modernity and Its Discontent, consisting of three black-and-white films: L'avventura (1960), La notte (1961), and L'eclisse (1962), all starring his then-companion, Monica Vitti. With his formally innovative works that renew cinematic dramaturgy, he is considered the author of the first films to tackle modern themes of incommunicability, alienation, and existential malaise.
