29. septembra si pripomíname 105. výročie narodenia jednej z najvýraznejších postáv dejín talianskej a, širšie, svetovej kinematografie, režiséra Michelangelo Antonioni. Antonioni vo svojich filmoch skúmal a reagoval na atmosféru svojej doby a robil to naozaj fascinujúcim spôsobom. Jeho filmy, v ktorých si postavy hľadajú miesto vo vtedajšom modernom svete, sú zaujímavé a hlboko úprimné aj z hľadiska dnešných dní. Dnes sa už nachádzame v inej dobe – digitálnej, dobe internetu a smartfónov, avšak témy ktoré sa týkajú ľudskej podstaty sú nemenné. Odcudzenie vo svete technológií, odcudzenie sa prírode, je dnes ešte naliehavejším problémom, ako v čase vzniku Antonioniho diel. Komplikovanosť medziľudských vzťahov úzko súvisí s poznateľnosťou okolitého sveta a seba samého. Človek sa musí vyrovnať so svojou samotou vo vesmíre sám a to môže dosiahnuť v harmonickom fungovaní so svetom. A preto v Antonioniho filmoch sú konflikty postáv v ostrom kontraste k harmonickým obrazom plynúcim v pomalom rytme.
