Critique La Ventura :: Art

Critique La VenturaLa Ventura is widely regarded as i of the greatest films to date. Michelangelo Antonioni didnt win the Palme Dor, but it did modernize a Special Jury Prize during the Cannes film festival of 1960. No bewilderment he didnt win the Palme Dor, but why flow him an award in the first place? The reason for winning the name seemed unclear at first because the film had serious issues with breaking the rules of standardized filmmaking. For example having his actors enter the scene from opposite directions from where the came the shot before. However LAvventura is a whole other world of its own. The title translates to English as The Adventure and indeed thats what it is.The movie is relaxing to watch give thanks to the scenery, but its slow and a bit boring. The film is oer two hours long (220 or so) and it takes a while to get anywhere. This is disturbing because the plot didnt seem to drop as such(prenominal) importance as the camera angles, framing shots or dialo gue. These aesthetics had more than importance than in most other movies. It also had an unusual vogue of telling the story - done mainly by showing images to delegate the main message.Technically, its a photographic journey Well, kind of. in the main because the whole island shoot is done through wide angle lense that squeezes the adequate black-and-white landscaping in the background. Also effective is how heap seem to disappear in it. Another beautiful shot was on the roof of the church building where the two main characters are ringing the church bells like kids playing, and then other church bells respond. That was a very nice sequence and a very nice symbol.The initial problem that the characters lead to deal with however was Anna and her disappearing. In a typical film, finding Anna would have been what the story would follow. But as LAvventura goes on, the script allows us or makes us forget about Anna. This process is done slowly, and we never stop sentiment about A nna. We are struck back to Anna especially in the prohibit when Claudia mentions her. The movie picked up pace after Anna disappeared especially with the kiss of Sandro and Claudia. thither are two main characters a man and a woman. Sandro wants raise from his girlfriends and refuses to commit himself to one, while Claudia needs love and more love.
