Director of Chekhov, one receiving new bits of information (9)
I believe the answer is:
antonioni
'information' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'director of chekhov one receiving new bits' is the wordplay.
'director of chekhov' becomes 'antoni' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one receiving' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'bits' becomes 'IO' (I and O resemble a and 0, bits in computing).
'n'+'io'='nio'
'antoni' placed around 'nio' is 'ANTONIONI'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for antonioni that I've seen is " Italian film director".)
