Unfinished business1998

The creator of such masterpieces as L'Aventura, Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point and The Passenger, Michelangelo Antonioni remains a seminal figure in modern cinema and one of the greatest italian filmmakers - a significance acknowledged by the Academy Award for lifetime achievement in 1995. Unfinished Business is the second book of his writings on cinema and collects scenarios, sketches and screenplays that were left inproduced. As he writes in The Architecture of Vision his films are "documents, not of a completed thought, but of a thought in the making" and this collection reveals the various forms of this thinking and the philosophical preoccupations which his art embraces.
