What’s going on here?

Right on the heels of news of the death of Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni also died on Monday. The influence of L’Avventura, Red Desert, Blow Up, Zabriskie Point, The Passenger and other films cannot be understated.
From the late 50s through the mid 70s, there was this explosion of astonishing cinema from titans in Europe. Almost all of them are gone now – Fellini, Truffaut, Fassbinder, Malle, now Bergman and Antonioni- and yet it hardly seems that long ago to me that these guys were in their prime. Fuck I’m getting old.
And I’m already in a fucking lousy mood, thanks for asking. For no reason other than just me being me.
