5.0 out of 5 stars
Here's a critic worth reading,
By TUCO H. "H. TUCO" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antonioni: The Poet of Images (Hardcover)
Arrowsmith's fascinatingly wide-scoped analysis of Antonioni's classic films is one of the best books of criticism I've ever read. You will not find a single line of cliche film criticism in this entire book, no jargon, just insight and more insight into the how and why of Antonioni's greatness based firmly on cultural and philosophical imperatives. No self-respecting Antonioni fan should miss out on the tonic of Arrowsmith's pivotal achievement.

This review is from: Antonioni: The Poet of Images (Hardcover)
William Arrowsmith (deceased) was a classical scholar and award-winning translator whose depth of knowledge, keen perception, and sheer talent as a writer are fully evident in Antonioni: Poet of Images. Arrowsmith's rich knowledge of Italian and classical literature informs his humanist (and often striking) impressions of the following Antonioni classics: Il grido, L'avventura, La notte, Eclipse, Red Desert, Blow-up, Zabriskie Point, and The Passenger. The book is edited by Professor Ted Perry and includes an appendix with synopses of the eight films listed above, notes, and "further reading."
