L’avventura

“I think it's also interesting to talk when you think of movement and also of the importance of stillness, to talk about Antonioni, which is a director that I love for the tension, the mystery in these films, the things that are unsaid. I think what I admire here is actually how so often he decides to not move the camera and also not necessarily see the character from the front, but experience the character from over the shoulder, the back... Antonioni is a really great director to watch.”

“Somebody actually had the guts to tell me the other day that L'avventura was dated I was like you're out of your mind it'll always be fresh plus the music doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.”

“L’avventura. Michelangelo Antonioni. You know, I think he shoots spaces and architecture in a very unique way. You definitely have to be in a mood to watch an Antonioni movie. But if you are, it can be hypnotic. This has a banger of a score by Fusco, I think his name is. It’s one of those tracks that, once you get it in your head, it’s hard to get out, so that will be pick number one.”

“L'Avventura alors mais oui bien sûr. Antonioni c'est de la modernité à l'état pur. D'une certaine façon il invente la modernité pour le cinéma des années 60 comme probablement Godard le fera de son côté. Et il faut les revoir tous, faut voir L'Avventura, L'Eclipse, etc. Qui donnent envie de faire du cinéma.”

“L'avventura. You know, there's something about this film that it's not literal. It's a story about a relationship and a man who's trying to find himself. So much is built up through the images and the pacing. It's real movies. When it really works, it's called L'avventura.”

“Antonioni was big for me and stylistically I started getting into this when I was first a still photographer and liked Helmut Newton and I don't know why but they were cut from the same ilk and it just was stylish. This was one the time more than narratively I was into stylistic photography and these were the movies that I would there were a huge influence to me graphic industrial.”

“I just have to take L'avventura. I don't have it. I love it so much. It's so gorgeous. Very, very.”
