Monica Vitti auditioning for "Il deserto rosso" by Antonioni



"Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance."
"I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space."
M. Antonioni (29 September 1912 – 30 July 2007)
