-Chirico's style has influenced several filmmakers, particularly in the 1950s through 1970s. The visual style of the French animated movie ''[[Le Roi et l'oiseau]],'' by [[Paul Grimault]] and [[Jacques Prévert]], was influenced by de Chirico's work, primarily via Tanguy, a friend of Prévert. The visual style of [[Valerio Zurlini]]'s film ''[[The Desert of the Tartars]]'' (1976) was influenced by De Chirico's work. [[Michelangelo Antonioni]], the Italian film director, also claimed to be influenced by De Chirico. Some comparison can be made to the long takes in Antonioni's films from the 1960s, in which the camera continues to linger on desolate cityscapes populated by a few distant figures, or none at all, in the absence of the film's protagonists.+'''''The Desert of the Tartars''''' (Il deserto dei Tartari) is a 1976 Italian film by [[Film director|director]] [[Valerio Zurlini]] with an international cast, including [[Jacques Perrin]], [[Vittorio Gassman]], [[Max von Sydow]], [[Francisco Rabal]], [[Helmut Griem]], [[Giuliano Gemma]], [[Philippe Noiret]], [[Fernando Rey]], and [[Jean-Louis Trintignant]].
