It brings you in a different time, for two hours you are completely detached from reality
Not the fastest-paced of movies and not for everyone. However the cinematography/imagery are beautiful and the characters/story compelling
Slow burn made satisfying more by all the wonderful cinematography shot on location than by the story, but the story ain’t bad either.
Antonioni’s masterpiece. A shining example of themes that he chased to lesser effect later.
_The Adventure_ isn't that adventurous and that's the point.
Ever felt guilty over how quickly you got over losing a loved one? How about cheating on a possibly dead fiancé? Cope, perhaps, to this.
Visually and cinematography is a landmark. The pace is genuine criticism however it captures the feeling of the themes.
A beautifully composed, compelling film in which almost nothing happens
She is so guilt-ridden and unsure and he is such a scoundrel. Sad to see and very sad ending, but I guess she felt she deserved it
Really great cinematography, somewhat of a flat ending.
