[on
The Passenger (1975)] There was a very basic script, but a lot of the time I was just staring out of a window. I was very good at that! He [
Michelangelo Antonioni] loathed explanations and cut them wherever possible so the film is almost silent. You'd work not knowing what you were doing. I thought, if he's unhappy with what I'm doing he will tell me. On set, though, he wouldn't really talk to you directly, but would often send over another person who would say: 'The maestro would like you to do this or that.' How lovely to be called maestro!
