"A strange and terrible beauty"

"In the empty, silent spaces of the world, he has found metaphors that illuminate the silent places of our hearts, and found in them, too, a strange and terrible beauty: austere, elegant, enigmatic, haunting."

-- Jack Nicholson on Italian director Michaelangelo Antonioni, who has passed away at the age of 94. Nicholson was the star of Antonioni's The Passenger, which was screened at StudioFilmClub earlier this year.
