Äventyret

L'avventura

...Antonioni had succeeded in fashioning a new filmic language that bound image and meaning ever more closely together, just as the characters were so intrinsically linked to the landscape of the volcanic Aeolian Islands.

Only recently, seeing it again, did I realize how much clarity and passion Antonioni brought to the film's silent cry of despair.

L'Avventura, the first movement in Antonioni's great tetralogy, remains the most haunting representation of the ennui of modern life.

L'AVVENTURA is one of Antonioni's finest films, and a landmark in the devlopment of cinematic narrative.
