The heroine's friend, the hero's girlfriend, Anna, disappeared when everyone went out to sea. Anna complained that her boyfriend didn't understand her, and made up a lie that there were sharks in the sea while everyone was swimming. Why? Maybe she didn't want to prolong the short happy time. In the process of everyone looking for Anna, the heroine and the hero fell in love. From the beginning of the man's initiative to show love and pursuit, but the woman's rejection and forbearance, to the woman who fell into the feelings of the man and couldn't extricate herself, the film spent a lot of time and a lot of space depicting the two People went from looking for Anna at first to later you and me. In particular, the passage on the train lays out the emotional changes of the heroine. The female protagonist is waiting for the male protagonist outside. At this time, all the men where the female protagonist goes are looking at the female protagonist. The female protagonist is like an antelope waiting to be preyed on. This shot clearly expresses the director's intention. , at the end of the film, the heroine's discovery of a man and a strange woman's intercourse is a further strengthening of the theme. Men consistently pursue female protagonists and express their emotions. The heroine sometimes refuses and sometimes accepts, and then completely falls into this "immoral emotion", and finally even fears that the missing Anna will suddenly return. She is very anxious, changeable and insecure. Just like the male protagonist said that my heart for Anna is as true as my heart for you, she is afraid of being replaced. This film is more of a representation of women's emotions. In the end, the male protagonist's derailment is too ironic, just like the end of "Female Addict", which is straightforward and explicit.

    92/100, Antonioni's compositional skills are truly breathtaking (there are even cases where multiple compositions are formed through the movement of people in the same shot). Under the influence of his scene and focus magic, the scene and space are no longer just a foil, but more like turning into characters to join this love "adventure" together. The disappearing "MacGuffin", the sense of alienation under the slow rhythm, and every push and pull between the characters makes me sigh at his delicacy.

L'Avventura quotes

  • Anna: It's difficult keeping a relationship going with one person here and the other there. But it's convenient. Because you can imagine whatever you like. Do you see? Whereas when somebody's right in front of you, that's all you get. Know you what I mean?

  • Sandro: [Anna starts to undress] Your friend is downstairs, waiting.

    Anna: Let her wait.
