The Gaze of Michelangelo

This 20-minute short is Michelangelo Antonioni's true final film and, for a master film-maker who has peerlessly studied (over almost a 55-year period) the inability of people to communicate between one another, it is appropriate that his last characters are himself - who has been debilitated by a stroke and deprived of speech and most bodily movement for practically 20 years - and the "inanimate" statues found in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
