What a dreadful month July - and this year - is turning out to be. As the Guardian headline says, first Bergman, now Antonioni.
Of course, 94 and 89 are not bad ages to die; they were productive and wonderful years for them and us. But who will replace them?
RIP Antonioni.

*My friend Hansa claimed that when Antonioni was invited to the Calcutta IFFI back in 1993, and he walked up - or was wheeled up - on stage, the whole auditorium rose as one chanting "Antonioni-da! Antonioni-da!" What can I say?

Umm, "Bengalis are Morons"? Or would that be an accurate-but-politically-incorrect-and-not-meant-for-public-spaces observation?
Jai, duck! :D
Moron-das?
I remember that standing ovation from 1993 but I don't recall the "da" bit...
Maybe it was an inaccurate-but-anecdotally-interesting-and-not-meant-to-be-verified observation?
And of course, that one event (if true) pegs the intelligence of Bengalis below organisms described here... http://jaiarjun.blogspot.com/2007/07/overheard-at-cinefan-and-moron.html
Or, is moron the word of the week?
