L’AVVENTURA

Screenplay by Michelangelo Antonioni, Elio Bartolini, & Tonino Guerra

Italian with English subtitles

Seven friends enjoy an Aeolian island cruise aboard Patrizia’s yacht. Their leisurely pleasures are interrupted when Anna disappears from the small island they have been exploring. Her best friend Claudia is desperate, while Anna’s fiancé Sandro is rather unmoved since he knows how moody and capricious the young woman can be. The maritime police become involved and Sandro and Claudia set out in separate boats to continue their search, but it is their own desire for each other that causes their paths to intersect. Because of Antonioni’s remarkable mise-en-scene and eloquent compositions, L’AVVENTURA received a special prize at Cannes “for a new movie language and the beauty of its images.”
