Just a day after the death of Ingmar Bergman comes the news that the great Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni has died at the age of 94. He was a key figure in 50s and 60s Italian cinema, making existential films that could bore you to death as well as deliver key observations about 60s pop culture. He used Pink Floyd for the soundtrack of “Zabriskie Point” and directed Jack Nicholson in one of his best films, “The Passenger”.His most famous film was “Blow Up” (1966), in which a murder may or may not have happened, and which made Swinging London and fashion photography look very, very sexy. Let’s celebrate his talent with the Yardbirds, in their Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck incarnation, rocking it out for the Swinging London scene.
