(The Adventure)
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Year: 1960
Writers: Michelangelo Antonioni, Elio Bartolini, Tonino Guerra
Cinematographer: Aldo Scavarda
I love the space in this picture, the slow, meditative photography, the open spaces... really the photography here is outstanding.
The story is haunting and mysterious, although the behavior of the man is not. A womanizer's adventure should really be the title, yet we follow the story through the eyes of a woman who becomes one of his victims.
Beautiful film, so very Italian. Young, fashionable rich Italians go on vacation. The women are magnificent, and the men consume and discard them like objects. Yachts, classic convertibles, the best fashion in history, and beautiful Italian locations make this film so seductive to look at.
Definitely see it.
