RIP Michelangelo Antonioni (September 29, 1912 - July 30, 2007), aged 94 You will always be remembered as a legend.
One of the truly great directors, honoring another truly great director. R.I.P. Antonioni and R.I.P Bergman, who died the same day.

Many of the greats are dying. Fortunately, their wonderful films live on. I'm a huge fan of Antonioni, and Bergman. And, of course, the greats who still remain with us like, Scorsese, Malick, Coppola...
Thank you Martin Scorsese for make this happen. My heart is breaking apart looking at the great Michelangelo Antonioni so touched, hardly hold back his tears, such a profound and sensitive man and director, honored and recognized by a moved Martin Scorsese, look like a dream to me. Long life, Cinema.
The fact that the man of the night stood up for Antonioni, shows exactly how much of an impact that he had not just on Scorsese but on film in general.
I think people like Antonioni, Fellini, De Sica must be in heaven for giving such a joy to everyone of us who loves their masterpieces.

You forgot Monicelli who in my personal and modest opinion he was better than for example a Fellini.
No one in the room is fit to shine Anotonioni's shoes
You can see Scorsese is almost on the verge of crying,
How good you got to be to make Scorsese almost cry with your presence... Antonioni, alive 100 years today, dead imortal!!!
It's touching to see Antonioni's face at the moment of her wife's speech... he was almost crying I think because he wanted to speak that words, but he couldn't...

Yes, he couldn't even work sadly, he had a stroke in the 80s
Michelangelo did an amazing,special work with his films. Something that not everyone can understand.It could seems bored,but absolutely not.I call it art!His films are over everything;you can feel the human emotions only with the photography.He didn’t need to make big dialogues,the silence was precious.
Scorsese was about to burst in tears...
In 1992 I saw Mr. Antonioni in person at the Walter Reade theatre in New York City, at a complete retrospective of his work. He couldn't speak, but he waved warmly to us cinema fans. That evening they were showing his early short documentaries. You've never seen such beautiful films. Simple and profound. I'm in tears as I think of what this great artist has meant to me.

Very moving, Antonioni is one of my reference points.
A very touching moment. Two real masters of the last six decades and probably others to come.

not only they are talented directors, they are men who know what's important in life....respect & appreciation for one another
I wonder how Antonioni felt about being introduced by the star of the most famous upskirt shot in history.
Dang, Sharon looked good!
Beautiful
An outstanding film director.
emozionante davvero.....a Great maestro!!
Imagínense la emooción de Scorsese al recibir la visita de Antonioni en su homejae, habiendo admirado su cine desde joven.
Antonioni is one of the greatests and paying his respects to Scorsese shows exactly what greatness must do: promote the next genereation of greatness.That's how society evolves.

No comparison.
He introduced those ideas a lot earlier than that. and he wasn't the only American director to do that. I like Scorsese a lot. My point was more about style vs form.
Scorsese brought a way of representing emotional intensity and violence with a complex, highly calculated, virtuosic editing style that hadn't been seen before in cinema. They both are innovators of equal merit.
A chess master to be sure.
antonioni est un grand maitre et tous ceux qui aiment le cinema doivent voir ses films... que des masterpiece. le +++++ grand respect
Sorry, but there is no comparison between these two directors Antonioni is a turning point in the history not only of cinema but also the personal relationships

Diferent styles of filmmaking i would say. Antonioni created a kind of cinema so unique that he was basically the only one capable of practicing it. He is one of the few filmmakers who could make a movie with no plot whatsoever and still make it a masterpiece. But scorsese is also one of the greats. Sorry, you can't look at Raging Bull and say it is not a masterpiece.

with due respect for both, i think clapping of jocker in dark knight was inspired by MS
Not to be naive or unaware of Antonioni's disposition, why couldn't he speak those words to Marty?

I know, now, because of a stroke that reached his speech capacities.
@motel86 - That's awful; very unfortunate. Well, at least he was there to honor one of the greatest.
They're not comparable. I think Scorseese DID change film. He changed it in a different way, in the way that Truffaut did it different to Fellini, and Bergman did it differently to Welles. They all came up with something new. You just like Antonioni more and you're bitter people don't put more praise on him. To say that Scorsese has had no influence outside of the western world is an ignorant thing to say.
@93johnk No, he doesn't speaks because he had a severe stroke that left him paralized on his right side, and took away most of his speech abilities. He comunicated through drawings and body language mostly.
@pbmutant29 and i'd suggest to you to watch a few religious themed Pasolini movies, particularly the Gospel Of St.Matthew, then get back to me :-) Last Temptation is a good movie, but it wasn't innovative or radical. Radical for a studio film perhaps.
The kind of stuff I have to read... Give me a break...
Both great directors. Can’t believe some of the idiots here are calling Scorsese a hack.
Pronounced Antonioni wrong it's An-ton- yoni
I bet that half of these fancy dressed people doesn't even know who Antonioni is.
there is an uncanny similarities between leclisse and breathless, jus the romance part between the 2 couples though breathless released 2 years earlier to leclisse. maybe breathless must have inspired antonioni. leclisse is the best antonioni film, imo

Watch Elevator to the Gallows by Louis Malle, and you'll see what inspired Godard and Breathless. It's even better, imho.
This is great, but let's be real about this, Scorsese is nowhere near Antonioni's level as a film maker. Antonioni changed film language forever. His influences is everywhere. He is one of the true poets of cinema. Marty is a great director, no doubt, but his approach to the medium was nowhere near as radical or innovative. This was nice to see though.

Do you understand the difference between a stylist and a formalist? Do you have any knowledge of how film has developed over the last century? Because Scorsese is just a popular favourite. He didn't change people's understanding of how space can be used in a frame like Antonioni did.

it was because he was still dealing with the effects of a stroke that hit him hard a decade ago.
This has nothing to do with personal opinion. Most of the directors influenced by Scorsese are Americans and Brits. The anglosphere is not the world ok? Who fucking cares what directors say? What matters is how film language was changed. Scorsese did not change film language, Antonioni did, that is just a fact. It has nothing to do with personal opinion. if you are talking about cinema as an art form, Scorsese isn't even close.
to say that scorsese is nowhere near antonionis influence is just straight dumb
Why does antonioni not speaking? Because he is not fluent in english?

if you really want to be pedantic,please spell auteur properly...among other things.
Yes, its obvious that Scorsese is just a good director, nothing more. His films shall be forgoten, because nothing special, or really unique as a view, or as a theme, exists in his work. Taxi driver, his best film, is the work of a group. Scorsese is just a good American director, Anonioni is an auter.

I just can't stop laughing. Your understanding of Scorsese's films is at kindergarten level. Stop pontificating like that bore who gets silenced by McLuhan in *Annie Hall*, and take the time to ask Scorsese's fellow directors, including such non-entities as Bergman, Capra, Minnelli, Resnais, Kurosawa,Powell, Spielberg, Malick, Coppolla, Allen, Tarantino,Cameron,Lynch,Bertolluci, Howard, Godard, Lee, The Coen Brothers and practically everyone else. De Palma put it best, after seeing Raging Bull for the first time. "No matter what you do, there's always Scorsese. When Roberto Begigni met Scorsese for the first , he did a " hommage" to *The Age of Innocence* and knelt down and kissed his shoe.

@@JHarder1000 Very well said. And I'm a big fan of Antonioni, but it's just wrongheaded to sell Scorsese short. King of Comedy, like Raging Bull, Age of Innocence, etc is another one for the ages.
Nah, not even close. I can tell you 100% most filmmakers, when asked who is more influential to them, they will chose Scorsese, regardless of who you personally like.
