Review of L'Avventura (1960) by Chris W — 29 Jul 2017
L'Avventura is certainly not the most satisfying of films, but it is a poignant film today, what with masses turning to wine or opioids to wait out the meaningless days of their boring lives. Here Antonioni takes us into the mindless minds of the idle rich, going on a half-assed search for a friend and lover who mysteriously vanishes, while seeming not to care less that she's gone.
After the initial disappointment the woman is never found (sorry there's a spoiler on this review of a movie that's almost 60 years old) has passed, the movie makes you think and sticks with you.
The photography is also striking and immerses you in the world of the film.
