Outstanding observational notes on Antonioni and Vitti’s Masterpiece. Thank you. The iconic Monica Vitti just passed yesterday, joining Antonioni. It is through the power of their films these seminal artistes have left us with these indelible observations on the human condition. Themes and thoughts that will continue to inspire, confuse, and communicate what it means to be human, to live, love and face loss. L’Adventura will continue to inspire these existential questions for generations to come.. Long after we are gone, these Artists and this Cinematic force of nature will continue to resonate. It will stand the testament of time, alongside the ancient Aeolian Islands where it was created. RIP Monica Vitti. Your power, poise and beauty redefined Women’s performance in Cinema.
This film was revolutionary when it was first screened. Because Antonioni had used a style of directing and visual composition that had not really been witnessed before. His camera often lingered over an actress or a scene mush more leisurely in an effort to expand time and make it more expansive, like real time. Most people were not ready for this. He also had an ability to compose complicated scenes in order to bring out their thematic meanings. The whole long last scene is simply masterly from beginning to end and the final shot is iconic.
Wonder what the remake of it today would look like ? Would that be absurd - yes but it was such a blue print a foundation of cinema then but can we return to the old master ? Or are we in aspic like the closing scene of the passenger ... reality as such is beyond film ?
i for one find that, you comment too fast about too much. All the while, you add more and more abstract terms and vague words, which create some more confusion. (If only, someone truly bothered to comment on the substance of your presentation and not merely its ..impressionistic achievement.) Wish you would choose some other cadence, a listener/reader friendly pace, while breaking down your premises, enough to build a solid flow, presenting your reasoning in crystal clear instead of quite (the) opaque terms. Despite as 'witholding', inarguably how generous of you to share your precious thoughts..! Thank you.

Antonioni is not existentialist, exactly the opposite
