Customer Reviews of L'Avventura - Criterion Collection
AWESOME DVD This is the Criterion Collection at their best, and director Michelangelo Antonioni at his best! This transfer is breathtaking it's so clean. It's difficult to imagine that a 40+ year old film could look so good today. The film is presented in a shallow 1.85:1 widescreen format and is in black and white dual-layer.
There is a brilliant commentary soundtrack, which comes-in quite handy. Listening to the commentary while watching this film shows just how detail-oriented director Antonioni was. Almost every scene, every prop has meaning and importance, and once you know what they are, you'll see just how brilliant this movie is.
They truly don't make movies like this anymore! The scenery is implicit, the photography is fabulous, the cinematography is worthy of Kubrick himself! (The women actors are gorgeous too).
The story is diliberately empty and void, and once you understand that, you'll see why the film feels the way that it does and you too will be haunted forever by it's beautiful vision.
A classic treasure. One of the all time Greats!
I really don't know where to begin. This film is as nearly perfect as you can get. Every facet of great filmmaking is flawlessly displayed to absolute perfection in Michelangelo Antonioni's, L'Avventura. This is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.
L'Avventura is all about relationships. The relationships between the main characters and also the territory they inhabit. Needless to say, topography plays an important role in this film and thus becomes an outside character in of itself.
When viewing for the first time, pay special attention to the deliberate pacing of the film. It's very bold and lyrical in its approach. Motion pictures aren't made like this anymore and you'll be pleasantly surprised that there is very little intrusion or manipulation by the director. Antonioni really lets this film breathe naturally; nothing is hurried or out of place.
This is really the perfect film.
I won't talk anymore about this landmark motion picture; it would be sacreligious to ruin a great experience for you.
Literally Dazzled
Monica Vitti is very blonde, very classy, pretty. She wore her Jackie Kennedy dresses with grace. The black and white photography of her white-dot suit literally dazzled. The scene where the Sicilian men stand about Monica (Claudia) like the scenes in Hitchcock's "Birds" made me very uncomfortable. The background is Italian Neo-Realism, rocks, sand, and the juxtaposition of old Italian Architecture, art, and communist style people's housing, empty and lifeless; I confess I drank about 2 bottles of water, more than my viewing of "Lawrence of Arabia." What happened to Anna on that volcanic island? Weird, L'Avventura (1960) is ranked on many cinema lists anywhere from #1 to #10.
