My favorites from the Italian Modernist

I had the indulgence of seeing Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Blow-Up” on HD last week. Again that is. This was probably my 7th or 8th time but watching this masterpiece from the Italian modernist filmmaker in high definition glory just blew me away. After all, according to cinema critic Richard Corliss, this was the movie that defied conventions and “helped liberate Hollywood from its puritanical prurience”!

So, now that you know my love for this celebrated filmmaker, I present below some of his very best movies or rather my personal Top 5 for your reading pleasure. feedback here or at the blog requested.

I absolutely loved blow up. I wish he had made like 10 more movies like it. it's a true true classic. I was just thinking about wanting to watch it again. I saw it for the first time a few years ago, and generally I hate watching movies over again, but this one I will.

what do you think of the original "swept away"? of course the madonna version was just pure comedy, although not as bad as some people said, I at least got a kick out of it. but the original wow I just loved it. why is it the Italians and the french made such good films? art is in their blood, food, wine, films, painting, music, etc all from them. they got the romance languages from the Romans, so we really have the Romans to thank for all their great works of art.
