Here is an overview of Antonioni's life and work, and an examination of six of his most important and intellectually challenging films. L'avventura, La notte, and L'eclisse, released in the early 1960s, form the trilogy that first brought the director to international attention. Red Desert was his first film in color. Blow-up, shot in English and set in London, became one of the best-known (and most notorious) films of its era. The Passenger is the greatest work of his maturity.
