When a literature PhD student tells you to see the movie before reading the book... But <i>The Road</i> is really good, and it's going to be interesting to see what sort of film it makes.</p><p>I probably will go through more of Antonioni's films. The only other one I've seen is <i>Blowup</i>, and that was ages ago. <i>L'Avventura</i> really whetted my interest, once I stopped trying to figure out what happened to Anna. ;)</p>JandyTue, 13 Nov 2007 15:20:08 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/2007/11/october-2007-readingwatching-recap/#comment-1752861<p>I have The Road on my list as well, after a friend of mine -- just like yours -- told me to stay away from NCFOM, at least for the time being.</p><p>Are you going to cycle through Antonioni's 7 films from the 60s and 70s? I did that last year and it was quite amazing. The hard part was finding copies of Red Desert and Zabriskie Point that were letterboxed, but they do exist.... in St Louis even!</p>filmboTue, 13 Nov 2007 15:06:46 -0000
