QUICKIE RESPONSE on L'AVVENTURA: 

L'AVVENTURA what it starts with the search of a mysterious disappearance, unwillingly turns into the traverse of two lover's journey. the film richly explores the unusual circumstances of two adults that attract each other; unfortunately, they must put aside their feelings in order to search for their missing friend. L'AVVENTURA is a romantic triangle where the common link is completely absent. Antonioni remarkably presents an ITALY seen through the eyes of 1960's Italian rich society. the scenery is photographically beautiful. every landscape is a panorama that depicts an adventure lived by a capricious society. the film is both adventure and an affair, since the tittle plays its two meanings with an amazing level of detail. this is Antonioni's style: an exploration/critique to an urban world through the eyes of the wealthy class. Monica Vitti is genuinely the role model of the1960's ITALIAN drama, on which AMERICAN leading ladies of cinema takes notes from.
