Product Description
Michelangelo Antonioni invented a new film grammar with this masterwork. An iconic piece of challenging 1960s cinema and a gripping narrative on it's own terms, L'AVVENTURA concerns the enigmatic disappearance of a young woman during a yachting trip off the coast of Sicily, and the search taken up by her disaffected lover (Gabriele Ferzetti) and best friend (Monica Vitti, in her breakout role). Antonioni's controversial international sensation is a gorgeously shot tale of modern ennui and spiritual isolation. Of modern ennui and spiritual isolation.

Michelangelo Antonioni is a Zen-like director in that he depicts life as it is with all its contradictions, simple yet complex, soothing and disturbing, an adventure and a bore, beautiful but lonely. He does not spare us. Even though L'Avventura focuses on a group of wealthy so-called friends, the human condition is the human condition regardless of how much money one has. The major difference, and what Antonioni might be trying to convey, is that those with money can buy diversions, a yacht, an Alfa Romeo, a villa. And since these same people do not work they are forced to buy time. Casual sex buys time, as well as endless parties and fancy dinners. The point is that the more distractions one has the easier it is to bury the inevitable pain of loss, betrayal, fear, loneliness, to name but a few, that are a part of life. However, the pain is still there for these people and maybe even more intensely, given the fact that all they have is a lot of toys but no genuine relationships, passion or meaning in their lives.
Gene Youngblood, mentioned earlier, is wonderful as the commentator. He is enlightening and unpretentious. He admits to having seen L'Avventura twelve times in 1961, so he knows his subject. And his love for this film is contagious. For those who have had or are having trouble with the picture, it is recommended to try watching again with the commentary.
The second disc contains testimonials from people who have known Antonioni and/or worked with him, so the viewer can gain further insight into the director's ideas, what he tried to say through his captivating images, and simply learn more about the man himself. There is also a brief segment on the restoration of the film, which is interesting even for technophobes like myself. Thankfully there are people with the skill and patience to take on this arduous process. How sad it would be to lose such an innovative and exquisite film. Buy this gem as soon as possible.
This particular collection has a remastered version of the film with audio commentary by film historian Gene Youngblood as well as a 58 minute documentary by Gianfranco Mingozzi produced by the Canadian Film Board, and various writings by Antonioni read by Jack Nicholson along with personal reflections, and a restoration demonstration. There is also a reprint of Antonioni's statements about L'Avventura, and a new essay by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith.

主演男優のサンドロ役、フェルツェッティがオンナ好きの冴えない役柄
行方不明になった元カノのアンナとの絡みに始まり、見知らぬ女との絡みで終る
三部作と称されるが、アラン・ドロンなら違った展開だったなと、考えさせられた
冴えないオトコと良いオンナとの関係が、不毛の愛で終る

モノクロ映像だが、半世紀経っても色褪せない、古き良きイタリア映画だと感じさせる作品
Wo Hitchcock im zeitgleich entstandenen "Psycho" Neuland betrat, indem er seine vermeintliche Hauptdarstellerin Janet Leigh schon in der ersten Filmhälfte sterben ließ, geht Antonioni noch einen Schritt weiter. Bei ihm ist die anfangs zentrale Figur Anna (Lea Massari) auf einer geselligen Bootstour plötzlich spurlos verschwunden, vom Regisseur einfach so, ohne weitere Erkärung aus dem Geschehen genommen. Bei der gemeinsamen Suche nach der Vermissten kommen sich ihr Verlobter Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti) und die beste Freundin Claudia (Monica Vitti) bald näher. Gleichzeitig schwindet ihre Motivation zusehends, die Suchaktion verläuft sich im Nirgendwo und schon bald ist Anna völlig vergessen - gerade so als hätte sie nie existiert.
Natürlich ist Antonioni völlig desinteressiert an einem logischen Handlungsaufbau, sein Augenmerk gilt der Suche nach den Restspuren von Gefühlen in einer gefühllos gewordenen Welt. Und er ist ein wahrer Meister der indirekten Mitteilung: fast wortlos kommuniziert er seine Diagnose - durch Landschaften, Architekturen und beiläufig eingefangene Alltagsbelanglosigkeiten. "L'avventura" ist von einer Stimmung der Leere, der Ziellosigkeit und des Unbehagens durchzogen, der man sich auch als Zuschauer irgendwann nicht mehr entziehen kann. Doch das ist durchaus gewollt: diesen Film muss man fühlen, um ihn zu verstehen.
C'est un chef d'œuvre. Toutes les scènes sont porteuses d'une beauté fascinante et mystérieuse. C'est d'abord la d'une femme, qui était au départ la seule raison d'être du film, liée à tous les autres protagonistes : amant, meilleure amie...) Puis elle disparait sans rien évidente. Envolée. Si présente dans l'esprit des nouveaux amants, elle crée un nouveau malaise, une présence obsédante, dicible ou non, pour ceux qui cherchèrent leur amie et se mettent à trouver l'amour. L'amour interdit au départ, mais au final l'Amour.
