L'Avventura (1960)
a film by Michelangelo Antonioni
"... one of the salient features of new narratives is a deliberate, calculated frustration of the desire to 'know'. Did anything happen last year at Marienbad ? What did become of the girl in L'Avventura? Where is Alma going when she boards a bus alone in one of the final shots of Persona?"
Susan Sontag
Antonioni's movies have the power to transmit a deep an lasting feeling of reflection and emptiness. L'Avventura is an aesthetically beautiful film, with amazing photography, great settings and beautiful and fashionable people but it is also a reflection about the nature of isolation, about the disconnection between people and loneliness in the middle of crowd.
This movie more than a story is a feeling.
