Antonioni, Or, the Surface of the World
ISBN: 9780520053410 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michelangelo Antonioni is one of the great visual artists of the cinema.

Though traditional audiences have balked at the "opacity" of Antonioni's films, it is precisely their rendered surface that is so eloquent once one learns to read it. Not despite, but through, their silences the films show a deep concern with the motives, perceptions and...
