Italian filmmaker Antonioni dies at 94
Quote:
ROME (Reuters) - Michelangelo Antonioni, one of Italy's most influential post-war film directors whose portrayals of modern angst and alienation won him a cult following, has died aged 94.
Antonioni's career spanned six decades and he was honored with an Oscar for lifetime achievement in 1995, when he had been felled by a stroke and could barely talk.
His works included the Oscar-nominated "Blowup", "Zabriskie Point" and the internationally acclaimed "L'Avventura" (The Adventure).
His death late on Monday night followed that of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, who died on Monday aged 89.
