Movie Review - The Passenger

Professione: Reporter (1975)
directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from JL

I like the early to mid-seventies period when foreign directors made big, international movies. "The Passenger," The Conformist, probably some other ones - those globetrotting Bond films have nothing on the locations used here, and no camera ever blessed James' Aston Martin with Jack's ragtop's gift of flight. Blowup is still the shallow half-mod it's always been, but Antonioni directed some really great pictures.
