In Memoriam Monica Vitti - L'avventura
In Memoriam Monica Vitti
During a cruise along the Italian coast, a young woman disappears from the ship. Her fiancée and her best friend start searching for her – but end up feeling more and more for one another. L’avventura is the first part of Antonioni's ‘love trilogy’, all three starring Monica Vitti in the lead role.
Alienation, isolation and sparse dialogue characterise this trilogy in which men and women do their best to get closer to one another – but just end up further away.
With an introduction by programmer Thijs Havens and the short film Julia / Guiliana (Manon Bovenkerk, 2008, 9')

Why in Eye
Eye commemorates an icon of Italian cinema: Monica Vitti interpreted the alienation in modern cities in the early 1960s like no other. Beautiful and enigmatic.
