Were both Michelangelo Antonioni and Lesley Selander film directors?
Michelangelo Antonioni Michelangelo Antonioni, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (29 September 1912 – 30 July 2007), was an Italian film director, screenwriter, editor, and short story writer. Best known for his "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" — "L'Avventura" (1960), "La Notte" (1961), and "L'Eclisse" (1962), as well as the English-language "Blowup" (1966), Antonioni "redefined the concept of narrative cinema" and challenged traditional approaches to storytelling, realism, drama, and the world at large. He produced "enigmatic and intricate mood pieces" and rejected action in favor of contemplation, focusing on image and design over character and story. His films defined a "cinema of possibilities".
Il mostro di Venezia The Embalmer (or Il mostro di Venezia / "The Monster of Venice") is a 1965 Italian giallo directed by Dino Tavella that was filmed in Trieste and Venice. The film was released in the USA in 1966 as "The Embalmer" on a double feature with "The She Beast". It was released in the UK in 1972 as "The Monster of Venice", and in France in 1966 as "Novices Libertines". The film is patterned after the German crimi films in style and structure, and is also an early giallo. It contains many travelogue-type sequences designed to show off the beauty of Venice, obviously to pay off the Venice tourist department for their help.
