Ep #16 - Michelangelo Antonioni in the 60s

Bart and Jenna try their best to not fall back on being overly reverential about films they love but when it comes to Michelangelo Antonioni, it’s hard to be anything but. As a director, Antonioni was made in the 1960s, starting with his rule-breaking masterpiece L’Avventura and ending with his critically panned Zabriskie Point.

In this episode, Bart and Jenna really get into the nitty-gritty of these complex, heartbreaking and sometimes mystifying films. They also try to dispel some widely repeated narratives about how to watch and read Antonioni’s cinematic language. Basically, they desperately want you to love these movies as much as they do. So andiamo, give it a listen.
