L'Avventura (1960)

L'Avventura (1960)

One of the most consequential works in cinema history, this epochal existentialist masterpiece from Antonioni concerns the enigmatic disappearance of Anna, a carefree heiress, during a yachting trip off the coast of Sicily. As Anna’s disaffected fiancé Sandro and best friend Claudia (Monica Vitti, in her breakout role) search for her, their own attraction develops into a fickle romance deeply affected by their own guilt and the increasing futility of their search. A masterwork of mood, pacing and visual composition, Antonioni’s career-defining treatise on ennui and spiritual isolation helped to launch modern art cinema as we know it.
