MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI (La notte) invented a new film grammar with this masterwork. An iconic piece of challenging 1960s cinema and a gripping narrative in its own right, 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 (Once Upon a Time in the West's GABRIELE FERZETTI) and best friend (L'eclisse's MONICA VITTI, in her breakout role). Antonioni's controversial international sensation is a gorgeously shot tale of modern ennui and spiritual isolation.
Special Features:
- New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
- Audio commentary featuring film historian Gene Youngblood
- Selected-scene commentary by filmmaker Olivier Assayas
- Antonioni: Documents and Testimonials, a fifty-eight minute 1966 documentary by Gianfranco Mingozzi
- Writings by director Michelangelo Antonioni, read by actor Jack Nicholson, plus Nicholson's personal recollections of the director
- New English subtitle translation
- Trailer
- PLUS: An essay by critic Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, along with the statement Antonioni made about the film and the letter that circulated in support of it after its 1960 Cannes premiere

Haunting study of alienation
This film is one of Antonioni’s masterpieces in a career full of them. It follows the disappearance of a young woman and the the reactions this provokes from her disaffected group of friends. The cinematography and score are stunning, fully engrossing the viewer in the world of it’s characters. It is a fascinating and haunting exploration of loneliness and our often futile attempts to understand one another and ourselves.
