The collaboration between Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti shapes the beginning of a new cinematographic course, marked by the style of modernity: the director becomes a great Author, the actress imposes herself as Diva. But a mere reading in terms of pygmalionism cannot explain the formal complexity of what looks like a reciprocal co-creation, conducted by the language of the gaze and spread over cinema borders, in a paradoxical dimension which involves also memories and words (and, eventually, their lack).

Abstract

The collaboration between Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti shapes the beginning of a new cinematographic course, marked by the style of modernity: the director becomes a great Author, the actress imposes herself as Diva. But a mere reading in terms of pygmalionism cannot explain the formal complexity of what looks like a reciprocal co-creation, conducted by the language of the gaze and spread over cinema borders, in a paradoxical dimension which involves also memories and words (and, eventually, their lack).
