History Creator / MichelangeloAntonioni

* ''Al di là delle nuvole (Beyond the Clouds, 1995) with Wim Wenders'''

* Main/ItalianNeorealism: In the earlier stages of his career he was linked to the movement. He made a documentary Gente di Po adhering to its rules. Il Grido is still arguably this depicting the life of the working classes even though it is dedicated to the exisistential despair, here experienced by a blue-coller worker, not a middle-class character.

* ''Il mistero di Oberwald (The Mystery of Oberwald, 1981)'' his ReunionShow with Monica Vitti

* HatTrick: Antonioni was among the very few directors to collect main prizes of all three main cinema festivals. He received the Golden Bear from Berlin Film Festival for La notte, a Palm d'or from Cannes Film Festival for Blowup and Golden Lion from La Mostra in Venice for Il deserto rosso. The fact that he also earned a Golden Leopard in Locarno for Il Grido makes it a {{TabletopGame/Poker}} though the latter festival is less acclaimed.

** Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer?from=Main.MGM {{Trilogy}} made by contract concluded with MGM. It includes ''Film/{{Blowup}} (1966)'', ''Film/ZabriskiePoint'' (1970) and ''{{Film/The Passenger}} (1975)''. These films were a departure in that they were all made in English and set outside Italia.

* ProductionPosse: To an extent. For example Gianni di Venanzo was his cinematographer on all his films from Le amiche (1955) until L'eclisse (1962) with an important exception of L'avventura where this post was held by Aldo Scavarda. Later Antonioni shot three movies with Carlo di Palma.

** Piero Poletto worked as a production designer on several occasions.
