L’avventura
Monica Vitti: La Modernista
June 6 - 19, 2025
Arguably one of the most significant provocations in film history, Antonioni’s existentialist masterwork, about a young woman’s disappearance on a Mediterranean yacht trip, helped to launch modern art cinema as we know it.
Arguably one of the most significant provocations in film history, Antonioni’s sixth feature and existentialist masterwork helped to launch modern art cinema as we know it. Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti), his girlfriend Anna (Lea Massari) and their friend Claudia (Monica Vitti) set out on a Mediterranean yacht trip to celebrate Sandro’s return from working abroad; Sandro and Anna’s relationship, meanwhile, has grown distant and tense for mysterious reasons. But when Anna goes missing on the trip, Sandro and Claudia search (however half-heartedly) for her, though a surfacing attraction between them threatens to overshadow Anna’s disappearance. An immaculate work of pacing and visual composition, L’avventura is rightly regarded as an epochal example of cinematic modernism. DCP courtesy of Cinecittà.
