Review: A masterpeice of a movie, becomes a woderful account of the making of it. Diaries of the famous and creative, are the publics guilty pleasure of removed voyouerism. This book is just great.

Summary: On psychology of movie making
Review: I enjoyed reading WW diary primarily for the insights to the personal struggles of the director working with somebody who is his master. Book is full of slight and not-so-slight overtones on the relationship between two men; sadness at the realization that "Beyond the Clouds" in all probability will be Antonioni's last movie; impossibility of filling in the personal artistic content for the other artist. I was amazed on the technique which Antonioni is unfortunately left with after his paralysis - finger gestures and a few disconnected utterances. I would recommend this book to a student of cinema; and also to the lover of biography genre.
