I think thats makes 4 well known directors that died within the last 2 weeks.

The only one that brought a tear to my eye is Ingmar Bergman, that guy was really something. Fanny and Alexander is on my and many others top 3 best directed films ever

jack nicholsen currently owns "the passenger" by Antonioni. I've seen it but many people have not.

I havent been able to see very many of Antonioni's films, the only ones I recall are:
Avventura
Eclisse
Blowup

I saw Blow-up when first released in 1966. Apologise for my lack of artistic taste, but I thought that it was incomprehensible and boring.

do you realize that you've probably summarized the entire movie "blow up" in just two words? That was the whole idea behind "blow up". Things happen and at time incomprehensible. Art is subjective. ....explaining art is not unlike a dog barking at the wrong tree.
