He was 94. He died on the same day as Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish filmmaker who died at his home in Sweden earlier Monday. NYT l NYMag l related?! l discussion

Cinéma d'auteur has sure seen better days.
just in case somebody says this has nothing to do with architecture, they are right. it superceeds it.

Through Walter Murch, I published an out-of-print essay by Antonioni on BLDGBLOG earlier this month; it's about listening to the sounds of Manhattan: New York City in Sound.
July is a very mortal month, it seems. Everyone's dying.
