Michelangelo Antonioni was an Italian film director, producer, editor, short story writer and screenwriter well-known for his intricately aesthetics and extremely thought-provoking, yet evasive and mostly puzzling films. He concentrated more on representation and design of his enigmatic cinematic productions rather than on the story and characters of the film and favored contemplation instead of action. The most notable work line of this ingenuous filmmaker who “redefined the concept of narrative cinema" and defied the conventional way of storytelling was his trilogy that included the films ‘L'Avventura’, ‘La Notte’ and ‘L'Eclisse’, all of which were made in the early 1960s. His enviable body of work also included films like ‘Story of a Love Affair’, ‘Le Amiche’, ‘Blow-Up’, ‘The Passenger’ and ‘Zabriskie Point’ among others. Cinematic contributions of Antonioni fetched him an honorary ‘Academy Award’ in 1995. Over the years he received the ‘Silver Ribbon’ eight times from the ‘Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists’. He remains one of the three directors who have bagged the ‘Golden Bear’, the ‘Golden Lion’ and the Palme d'Or, and the sole one to have received the ‘Golden Leopard’ along with the three other awards mentioned herein.
