Ο Μικελάντζελο Αντονιόνι (29 Σεπτεμβρίου 1912 – 30 Ιουλίου 2007) ήταν Ιταλός σκηνοθέτης και παραγωγός του κινηματογράφου. Οι ταινίες του διακρίνονται για την ιδιαίτερη αισθητική τους προσέγγιση, δίνοντας έμφαση στους χαρακτήρες. Ανήκε ιδεολογικά στο χώρο της Αριστεράς,[1] χωρίς όμως να είναι στρατευμένος, κρίνοντας αντικειμενικά κάθε κατάσταση, κάτι που φανερώνει ένα ειλικρινές (χωρίς ωραιοποιήσεις) ντοκιμαντέρ του για τον Μάο Τσετούνγκ.
Γεννήθηκε στη Φεράρα, στις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου 1912. Σπούδασε οικονομικά και αποφοίτησε από το πανεπιστήμιο της Μπολόνια. Το 1939 ξεκίνησε σπουδές κινηματογράφου στη Ρώμη, στο Centro Sperimentale Di Cinematografia της Σινετσιττά. Εκεί συνάντησε μερικούς από τους καλλιτέχνες με τους οποίους συνεργάστηκε αργότερα, όπως τον Ρομπέρτο Ροσελίνι. Από το 1942 μέχρι και το 1952 συνεργάστηκε σε πέντε ταινίες ως σεναριογράφος, μαζί με τον Ρομπέρτο Ροσελίνι, τον Σάντις, τον Φελίνι και άλλους. Πέθανε στις 30 Ιουλίου 2007.
