L'Avventura (The Adventure) is a 1960 Italian film written and directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. Monica Vitti and Gabriele Ferzetti star.
A girl mysteriously disappears on a yachting trip. While her lover and her best friend search for her across Italy, they begin an affair. Antonioni's penetrating study of the idle upper class offers stinging observations on spiritual isolation and the many meanings of love.
The film influenced the visual language of cinema, forever changing how subsequent movies looked, and has been named by some critics as one of the best movies ever made. L'avventura is often cited as an early feminist film with strong and richly characterized female protagonists.
(This trailer is pretty funny - especially if you've seen the film!)
