Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni died last week. This story tells a little about their work, offers viewing suggestions, and explains their impact on Scorsese, Spielberg, and the rest of the ’70s “Whiz Kids”.
Take-away nugget of trivia:
Coppola’s incredible “The Conversation” and DePalma’s “Blow Out” were both remakes of Antonioni’s “Blow Up”.
Trivia bonus:
The role that Gene Hackman played in “The Conversation” he reprised with a slightly different name much later on in “Enemy of the State” with Will Smith.
