  Put the "Profession: Reporter" (aka Passenger) on top - it is incredible, nothing finer from him, IMHO, Maria Schneider, ets. Tremendous movie

  Then,

  The Adventure

  The Eclipse

  From here follow just the usual list.

  
  ...annnnddd, since you are gonna be seeing a lot of Monica Vitti (boy, is she beautiful!!!), just take a break from all that Antonioni stuff ad definitely rent "La Ragazza con la pistola", aka "Girl with a Pistol" - guaranteed laughs until you burst.

    Thanks. I'm planning on seeing "The Passenger" for sure. The group which is showing it had to get permission as it will be the first time shown in the U.S. without cuts. The rights are owned by Jack Nicholson! I'll try to see some of the others as well.

      I was wondering about this one. Didn't it get some bad reviews?

        I would not call it a good movie. There are far better ones.

          The film festival is only covering Antonioni. All of his films, if I'm not mistaken.

          Did he make a lot of anti-establishment films?

            ***Did he make a lot of anti-establishment films?

            I have to admit I am not hot on social agendas in movies. I usually don't pay attention to them, unless it is too obvious. I am not the best guy to ask this question. I guess I would have to go back and see. Perhaps Steve could answer this - ask him directly, he is better at noticing things and recording them in his bottomless memory (he gets my respect for that ability of his).

            Most of the time, movie directors/producers and actors are the worst people to ask the opinion on social issues. Directors are usually too absorbed in what they are doing from the artistic standpoint to be aware or clear on what is going on, and the actors are usually too dumb to understand. That, unfortunately, is true even of the best actors - they are good line readers, that's what this profession is about. Nothing wrong with that.

            Good luck, sounds like fun days. Tell us what you thinks afterwards.

        Don't know but I could see reviewers not liking this one. It's one of those anti-establishment, disenfranchisement, eyecandy 70s type film. It's all good fun and easy to find at a rental shop.

          I'd like to see some more of those anti-establishment films. Off the top of my head, there's "Dr. Stragelove", "Catch-22", "JFK". Does "Repo Man" qualify?. Oh, yes, about a year ago, I saw "Medium Cool" for the first time. Do you think there are enough good Anti-estabs for discussion in a thread?
