Editorial Review:
Description:
A girl mysteriously disappears on a yachting trip. While her lover and her best friend search for her across Italy, they begin an affair. Antonioni's penetrating study of the idle upper class offers stinging observations on spiritual isolation and the many meanings of love. Criterion is proud to present this milestone of film grammar in a new Special Edition double-disc set.
Amazon.com essential video:
Considered by many to be his masterpiece, L’Avventura positioned Michelangelo Antonioni as an international talent. What appears to be a search for a missing person is actually an examination of alienation and self-discovery found along a voyage through the morally decadent world of the idle rich. Less concerned with a smooth plotline, Antonioni tells his story through the use of symbolic images and flawless character development. Using 'real time’ camera shots and rich, landscape imagery, Michelangelo Antonioni creates an unpredictable world where nothing is ever resolved. Ironically, what makes L’Avventura so unpredictable is the high level of realism portrayed by each character and their environments. This isn’t your packaged, formulaic film with a happy ending. A tough one to watch but well worth it...and it gets better and better with repeat viewings. L’Avventura is quintessential Antonioini. Not to be missed. --Rob Bracco

Some films that are labeled classics, or great films, are not even good films. Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless immediately comes to mind. Others, like Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura, whose title literally means The Adventure, as well as Italian slang for a one night stand, are not necessarily bad, but still only interesting failures, and not worthy of their reputation. L'Avventura was the first in a trilogy of black and white widescreen films Antonioni would make about alienation and personal ... Read More

"L'Avventura" is one of those films in which nothing much happens, but it is fascinating all the same. A sense of absence pervades the movie, the characters themselves drenched in ennui. Anna and her reprobate boyfriend, Sandro, join their other jet set friends on a boat trip. Anna and Sandro have problems; they don't see each other all that much and, as a result, he has become a stranger to her. They have quarrels. She disappears on the trip. Her best friend, Claudia, is devastated. Has she ... Read More

From the scenes of the sea and island at the beginning of the film to the portrayal of Claudia throughout it, the film is a visual masterpiece. Some of the scenes in this film are so breathtakingly beautiful - it's worth it to see this work of art for this reason alone. However, there are other reasons to fall in love with it.
The story begins with a group of wealthy young Italians out for a day cruise on the Mediterranean. They decide to explore an island. Anna, a girl from the group, ... Read More

Like many of the best things in life, I came into the ownership of this film by accident. I was collecting the noir titles of the Criterion Collection and this film was categorized in that genre. This is not a noir film in any dimension.
I sat down and was spellbound from beginning to end. First, the cinematography was visually stunning, the lush black and white imagery set the tone of story contrasts. You immediately get the sense that something much more than talking heads spouting ... Read More

A groundbreaking film but the long overview in English, which precedes the actual film is most fatiguing and can be skipped
