Michelangelo Antonioni

“Things are there, why should I explain them?”

“Nothing is more real than nothing.”

“Actors are a line of props, and I am the puppeteer who pulls the strings.”

“I have always felt a need to express reality in a way that is not immediately realistic.”

“We know that under the image, another image is hidden, and in the last image, another one, and so on, until the true image, the last image of a reality never to be reached.”

“Perhaps I am a man who is sick of words.”

“Reality is a dirty word for me, I know it isn't for you.”

“I’m not a theoretician. I’m a filmmaker. I’m not a philosopher. I’m a filmmaker.”
