L'Avventura


When a young woman disappears on a yachting trip, her lover and her best friend lead a futile search and then begin their own affair. L'Avventura, Antonioni's tale of Italy's idle rich, distinguished by his remarkable way of juxtaposing subjects in their environment, redefined our views of time and space in cinema. Starring: Gabriele Ferzetti and Monica Vitti.
