Slow and ponderous, often intriguing, sometimes dull. I enjoyed the first 45 minutes or so more than the rest, though there were some interesting parts later on. The film is consistently well shot, the symbolism is at times a bit blatant. Not my favorite Antonioni, but still worthwhile.

Boy was I bored. If it hadn't been for the beautiful work of art that this film, from an objective point of view, is, I'd hate it. But it was one of those experiences where your aesthetic sense is stimulated to an extreme degree, while the plot makes you fall asleep. It's the world's best sleeping pill, this combination, you're bored but still impressed and you get sucked into you pillow with a smile on you face... I love the mood of old italian films like this, still, so it's on the plus side.

We are all in our separate orbits, observing each other from afar, disappearing unexpectedly, and colliding in unexpected ways. Antoniono's slow, quiet, beautiful L'avventura is one of the greatest cinematic expression of that fact I've ever encountered.

Will test your patience, because some parts are slow-paced and the rest is rich in inconsequential events and conversations... but you'd better believe it's exactly as it should be. I adore Antonioni's sense of time, for instance the typical love scene ending in "it's getting late, let's go": Nothing is eventual, there's always continuity. This somehow serves to augment the quintessentially mediterranean scenario. A beautiful, well-written, well-directed movie.

The first hour or so of L'Avventura is fantastic. Beautifully shot and clearly the master Antonioni knows how to encapsulate Italy on screen better than virtually anyone else. When the meat of the story kicks in, it starts to lose its majestic air about it, however, it's still an excellent movie all the way through. It is a slow movie, but never boring; if you have the patience to sit through the two and a half hours of L'Avventura expect to be very rewarded.

Holy, Monica Vitti is stunning--you don't see beauty like that quite often, especially today. I had to really reconsider the ending for a few hours, and I've come to the agreement that it is a brilliant ending. Truly, the film is boring. His long takes are torturous (very much unlike anything Tarkovsky does), and his mise-en-scene is torrid (intentionally so, of course). I can still say that seeing something like this in a movie theater must have been hypnotizing.

Antonioni leaves us with an unresolved plot, as he slowly indicates signs of self-indulgence and little concern for its audience. I appreciate the craftsmanship behind it all; It's beautifully shot and the actors are great but I'll take La Dolce Vita any day over this. Both films end on a similar note yet everything leading up to it is presented in a more promising light.

i always thought l'avventura is more about how men want to possess women, than about this 'ennui'-thingy. so annas decision to disappear from the patriarchic system is the first, the happy end. she just isn't daddys girl anymore. cool, but she had to vanish. LATER. in one of the first scenes you see claudias hands waving in the wind - free. the very same hands, which are chained to sandro at the second end. she isn't free anymore, she has fallen in love with the system that imprisons her.

Antonioni has become a period filmmaker, and L'avventura is stamped, in every sense, as a work of the early sixties. I find his approach too literary, and undramatic for its own good. That said, his films gain much by Vitti's presence. Her face is a delicate barometer of the minutest turnings of mental weather. Never have a director and actress dwelled so completely inside each other.

L'AVVENTURA isn't immediately satisfying but I'm sort of in love with it and believe it to be the best of the alienation trilogy. It follows a cast of wealthy people who go on glamorous boating trips and live with financial ease. Yet despite having everything, there's a sense that everybody is malnourished, lacks meaning in their lives, and is held down by one another's possessive grip - this especially applies to the female characters. Elegant and subtle.

Figures trapped in fore- or background play out the pathologies of contemporary desire and existence in a way that is sometimes tedious, but the relentlessness of the exercise, however formal it seemed at times to be, ultimately induced in this viewer a disconcerting and unsettling sense of the horrific aspects of human social and sexual relations (though personal circumstances cannot be excluded as a contributing factor). One problem is that Massari's character is the most interesting.

The rapid, almost numb shifts in the consciousness of L'aaventura and its characters are so uniquely powerful and disconcerting. Anna mysteriously flees the emptiness of a relationship that's born out of the listlessness of decadence - she escapes a superficial forgery of love that's used to plug the existential hole that this forms, and in her place, Claudia is confined by it. This is beautifully shot, leaving the feeling that each environment somehow facilitates these shifts in consciousness.

Confounding and elusive, because it's so antithetical to the established grammars of romance, mystery, and melodrama. Simply, there's very little didactic narrative thrust or psychological insight. It's an amalgamation of mostly non-events which coalesce into mood. Patience required and rewarded, for its lingering only serves to turn its most sentimental moments revelatory.

An intriguing film, and one that's not easy for me to rate. It has a sort of hypnotic quality to it, which kept it from feeling slow or plodding despite being objectively slow moving. But there also doesn't seem to be much there there. The social elite are vacuous, but is there really anything more to it than that? I'm not sure. PS, Vitti and Ferzetti are in the running for best-looking screen couple of all time.

Anachronistically, even though I approve of the goal, these critiques of bourgeois society and morals get old (the Exterminating Angel was way better in that sense). So, while it's beautifully shot, it also felt predictable. Watching it in the 60s, before seeing thematically close movies (Rohmer, Fellini), would have probably changed my perception. I also couldn't see any hint of sympathy from Antonioni towards his characters. I really believe he loathes them and shows their corruption.

The island scenes are wondrously shot, stark in their beauty, each stony enclave isolated from contact with the rest of the world, an indifferent sea stretching out around them. The images encapsulate much of the contemporary condition of western society, and seem as vital as ever some 60 years later. The film lags a bit in the second half, but the striking final sequence and the final image in particular leaves a faint glimmer of hope even in the midst of the foreboding walls that surround.

People complain about this movie being slow, and it certainly is, but that adds so much to the whole experience. It wouldn't work at all if it was quickly paced. This movie certainly wasn't exciting by any means, and it left me feeling like I was in an art museum, like what I was watching was ridiculously important, but I couldn't put my finger on why.

LAVVENTURA is a work of art! While the two principle characters look for a missing friend their search turns into a spiritual one. Eventually, emptiness reveals their true spiritual condition: Sandro is overtaken by a restlessness made apparent in his need for women and experience; but it is the seemingly weak Claudia who becomes priestly and strong. Antonioni masterfully creates a new experience for a common human problem... and he does this using the unique filmic powers of word and image.

The first hour of L'Avventura is fast-paced, brilliant and had me hooked. But from that point on, it draaaaaaaaags. The whole movie should have been done in one hour or, at the most, 45 mins less than it's current length. Nonetheless, it still offers a good penetrating look at the idle, selfish Italian upper class and their pointless and jaded social lives. Of the two movies of the "Incomunicability Trilogy" I've seen so far, this is better than 'L'Eclisse'. 'La Notte', I am yet to see.

A story about disappearance. Not only in the physical sense, but in the mental sense as well. The people in this movie have everything...and nothing. They are rich and attend all kinds of social gatherings with the upper class, but lead ultimately dull and empty lives. There is no love, only someone else to share the loneliness with. Sexual release is the limit of intimacy between the characters in this film. "L'Avventura" tells the story of emptiness.

I can recognize the "revolutionary" aspects of the film and I can recognize that plots needn't be tied up neatly (i.e. Cormac McCarthy), but it seems to me a complete waste of time to take us on a journey which doesn't have depth. There's nothing here besides endless contextualized images from which we're supposed to derive meaning. But why should I care about any of it? Let alone two and a half hours of it? To be honest, listening to the Criterion commentary made me like it less.

On the second viewing I like it much more, but there's something very off putting with this for me. It just feels plainly wrong to rank this any higher, despite giving La Notte a pretty high score with L'Eclisse to go. I respect and even love some of the skills that Antonioni shows a director, he proves almost in each scene his talent but there's something mysterious...

Lot's of pretty people, lots of pretty shots and lots of time wasted on lots of nothing. It's very rare that I can't wait for a film to end, but this definitely was one of them. Too bad, because I felt that the first 40 minutes showed potential for a very good film. But once they gave up looking for Anna, it becomes meandering and meaningless. My rating is only for Monica Vitti and for the wonderful cinematography, the film's only saving graces.

the disappearance of a woman brings her fiancé and her close friend together in a romantic relationship, perhaps to fill the gap her loss created for both of them. over time, she is slowly rendered into the background, as the search for her morphs slowly into the uncertain attraction, surrounded by a series of inconsequential happenings. but she is never gone entirely, emphasised by a fantastic conclusion. the meandering isn't handled as well as in l'eclisse, but overall it is still good.

"L' avventura" is an intriguing, subtle, slow-paced examination of human/gender relationships, failed artistic ambition and depression so harrowing that it might just make you disappear. Still, despite pretty scenery and a realistic, nuanced approach, Antonioni fails to stir up any serious emotional response or justify the film's ponderous pacing. It's an interesting effort and possibly an important one but, for all its positives, far from enticing.

There is too much to fully unpack in a blurb. I think it is one of those movies that doesn't crystallize until long after watching it. Anna comes across as aloof and unreasonable leading up to and including her disappearance. As everything unfolds, her behaviour makes more sense as Claudia slips into the void left by her. All men are portrayed as predators, some like Sandro are charismatic enough, however, to hide his savage nature. This could grow in estimation over time.

It looks good, both due to the great cinematography and because Monica Vitti is probably the most attractive woman I've ever seen. The movie is about the boredom its characters feel in their shallow lives. And the movie itself shares these feelings; a scene starts, people talk to each other, the scene ends, repeat. The movie is just there, never even attempting to make me care about it. The most boring thing to watch is other bored people. In this case it's the movie itself that's bored.

L'avventura has been rightly praised for its innovative narrative, its complex use of space, and its fine art photography which endowed the medium with a visual sophistication hereto unseen. His unique view of human relations under contemporary capitalism is unnervingly portrayed but mistakenly interpreted as critique. Antonioni's key insight is that the 'existential' problems of the rich are simply different from the poor, but no less serious, because they are not struggling to survive. Kudos.

Moments of individual greatness lie here, but don't seem to come together quite as cohesively or succinctly as seen in Antonioni's later masterworks such as 'La Notte' or 'Red Desert.' Trimming its length by a good 20 minutes would have done it well, here, I believe, as Antonioni's usual meandering sensibilities become gratuitous by a certain point, while the narrative simply did not interest me as much as Antonioni's later films do. Worth watching almost solely due to influence, however.

Not the easiest film to sit through, but it is easy to look at. The first act is drumming and hypnotic: It conditions the viewer to crave some sort of dramatic payoff. Instead of delivering, it drags out into an abstracted love story about characters who as lost as we are. It is the essential anti-drama.

A beautifully filmed movie. Although, a little confusing at times.

It was boring and the relationship between Claudia and Sandro didn't make sense to me. Claudia seemed antagonistic towards him in the beginning of the film then suddenly finds herself in love with him.

A genuinely interesting and genuinely ambiguous little film that manages to transcend the "puzzle movie" genre in ways that later works like MULHOLLAND DR never come near. I like this one a lot.

I really enjoyed the first half an hour or maybe 45 mins but Antonioni lost me afterwards with that slow pace. The pictures are still enjoyable and I appreciate the aesthetics, the mood of this movie but I couldn't really engage with the story.

About not knowing who you are and what you want and love. Second comes the bourgeois ennui and patriarchy, yes they are there as well.

Thought this was a mystery. Tried to guess what would happen next at various points. Was wrong every time, including thinking that this was a mystery.

I am not a fan of the traditional story arc, but this is a good example of why it can be a good thing to have. The film is way too slow and becomes a totally cerebral exercise, making it hard to care about anything - and giving no information about what we do care about. What the fuck did you do with Anna, Michelangelo?? (Where I did like the cerebrality was in the meticulously composed pictures.)

Sandro: "Who needs beautiful things nowadays, Claudia? How long will they last? All of this was built to last centuries. Today, ten, twenty years at the most, and then? Well..."

A beautiful piece of filmmaking not just in the landscape photography or the exquisite set designs, but in the way the camera frames and lingers on every piece of emotion.

Antonioni captures some of love's audacious moments that leave us with feelings of isolation and disconnect. A battle of morale among characters that display different elements of love; the void unfulfilled by a significant other, temptations of lust and loyalty, as well as the persisting need to feel love/desire back. This familiar tone of Antonioni may disregard emotions at first, and lead one to ambiguous reflection.

Bu konu 80 dakikaya sığdırılabilseydi sevebilirdim. Siyah beyaz olmasına rağmen Akdeniz’in güzelliği ve mekan seçimleri ve sunumuna bayıldım. Olaylar konusunda ikinci bölüme girildiğinde gereksiz uzatılmış maalesef.

Antonioni, in a first for a major filmmaker, breaks some of the narrative language of cinema. Stunning landscapes and intense performances propel a film that doesn't follow a standard narrative structure. The realism of the plot is undermined by the unrealistic characters who act without motivation or reason so the movie can move forward without a narrative. Some think this is a strength. It's more a fatal flaw. Later directors would take the ideas here and succeed where Antonioni fails.

Sometimes the PSI for older foreign movies are spot on, a lot of times its not. This one is not.
