“Lu0026#39;Avventura (1960)**** u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYoung woman (Lea Massari) suddenly disappears during a boating trip on an inhabited island. Shortly afterward, her boyfriend (Gabriele Ferzetti) and her best friend (Monica Vitti) became attracted to each other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, donu0026#39;t expect the mystery. This is a study of emotional isolation, moral decay, lack of the communication and emptiness of rich people in contemporary (then) society. You can easily be bored by the slow pace and the lack of dramatics of this movie unless you capture its true purpose. This is u0026quot;state of mindu0026quot; or experience film rather than conventional plot film. Antonioni practically discovered the new movie language in Lu0026#39;Avventura. By using formal instruments he is expressing emotions of the characters (loneliness, boredom, emptiness and emotional detachment) and the viewer is forced rather to feel this same emotions himself than to be involved in the story and its events. These formal instruments are: slow rhythm, real-time events, long takes, visual metaphors like inhabited island(s), fog, extreme long shots (small characters in panorama) and putting protagonists on inhabited streets or large buildings and landscapes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat cinematography. Forms trilogy with La Notte (1961) and Lu0026#39;Eclisse (1962).”
