Films it shaped
-
Antonioni’s L’Avventura changed my sense of narrative, how a character could literally disappear from a movie and the film would be more about the impact of that disappearance than her actual presence.
-
Wong cited Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura (1960) and Le Mépris (1963) as key touchstones for his storytelling approach and the use of space as an emotional landscape.
-
Antonioni was a big part of my education, and I think that, especially L’Avventura, it’s a film that made me realise that cinema could be something completely different from what I thought it was.
