"I see you have a wonderful Morandi" and "He´s the painter I love most", says Steiner to the journalist Marcello in Fellini´s La Dolce Vita, which includes a shot of Morandi´s Still Life (1941, formerly Jucker collection). Another painting appears in Antonioni´s La Notte, and he, De Sica and Zurlini collected Morandi. Beyond having been a status symbol in 1960, Morandi´s work is also comparable to the filmic art in its creative process. Ferzan Ozpetek speaks admiringly of Morandi´s dream-like artistic vision, and how he shares this with the viewer. The painter´s imaginary spaces are inhabited, despite the absence of human forms; and though they are static � like cinematic frames � they express life and movement. Time and memory, with all their peculiarities, are an essential part of this vision.
