This week we are talking about the most incredible European New Wave duo! Italian actress Monica Vitti and Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni were collaborators and lovers in the 1960s and made some of the most indelible films of all time so far.  We watched and loved: L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), L'Eclisse (1962) and Red Desert (1964). Because you gotta go beyond Blow-Up (1966) and his other MGM films. Those are good too but, ya know. Also these 2 documentaries are worth checking out and we talk about them a bit: Antonioni: Documents and Testimonials (1966) Blow Up of "Blow Up" (2016) And at the end we talk about An American In Paris, Swamp Thing (and Paul's romantic love for him), Mrs. Maisel, John Malkovich and Cher. Finally, we have a question. What should our next minisode be? 1980s New Wave or Stoner Movies. Vote on our Spotify or send us your vote on Instagram. We'll also post a proper poll there along with lots of supplemental content on Monica x Michelangelo. Instagram: @release_pod Website: release.pictures Music by René j Núñez
