Leave your thoughts about L'Avventura.
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt's easy to bash Antonioni as passe. It's harder, I think, to explain the cinematic power of the way his camera watches, and waits, while the people on screen stave off a dreadful loneliness. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanPerhaps the quintessential cinematic expression of ennui. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezCharacters root themselves separately in background and foreground planes, their emotional distance rendered via the director's unnerving use of deep focus. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickone of those rare achievements that embodies an entirely new mode of film language |
| Filmcritic.comJeremiah KippL'Avventura has still held up remarkably well, perhaps because the creepiness of existence remains topical in these apathetic times. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongThis is a world without design, where characters can no longer single-mindedly pursue goals and resolve problems. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellL'Avventura eschews conventional narrative drive or sophomoric emotional satisfaction in favour of gorgeous compositions, inimitable style and an acerbic sensibility. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyRightly considered to be a cinematic landmark. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt's a work that requires some patience -- a 145-minute mystery that strategically elides any conventional denouement -- but more than amply repays the effort. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's a slow paced personal film that welcomes tedium as readily as mainstream films welcome action. |
