1960: L'avventura

When a party of youngish rich Italians goes on a boating trip, one of them disappears. But Antonioni's film is no run-of-the-mill mystery; rather, after the initial events (the most entertaining part of the movie in my view), it turns into Scenes from a Relationship. I feel wholly ambivalent about the film: Visually, it is stunning; as a narrative, the deliberately paced and loosely plotted L'avventura is much less successful. Overall, a weak recommend (6.5).
