Review title: Demanding film that reaps fine rewards
Product review: Antonioni has conveyed the spiritual malaise of our age in a film that, granted, moves at a snail's pace and demands the attention and involvement of it's audience. The effort involved is worth the trouble because L'Avventura builds into a powerful experience. Some have viewed the film as Marxist tract against the idle rich but it is more than just that. Non-caring egotism,spiritual emptiness, easy betrayal are some of the major themes. The disappearance of Anna is more of a plot device than anything else; don't get too hung up on it as it is not one of Antonioni's main concerns. A worthy "companion" piece to Fellini's La Dolce Vita and one of the masterpieces of international cinema.
