  The image is a pure creation of the mind.
  It cannot be born of a comparison,
  but from drawing together two distant realities.

  L'Avventura 1960

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 17 Sep 2021

  “Many films are called ‘classic’, but few qualify as turning points in the evolution of cinematic language, films that opened the way to a more mature art form. Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura is such a work. It divided film history into that which came before and that which was possible after its epochal appearance. It expanded our knowledge of what a film could be and do. It is more than a classic, it’s an historical milestone.”

  Gene Youngblood, Dec 11 1989.
