Film director not supporting consuming pungent vegetable (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antonioni

'film director' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not supporting consuming pungent vegetable' is the wordplay.
'not supporting' becomes 'anti' (I've seen this in another clue).
'consuming' is an insertion indicator.
'pungent vegetable' becomes 'onion' (I've seen this in another clue).
'anti' placed around 'onion' is 'ANTONIONI'.

(Another definition for antonioni that I've seen is " Italian film director".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
