Groundbreaking Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni redefined the concept of narrative cinema, challenging the accepted notions at the heart of storytelling, realism, drama, and the world at large.
Mr Bongo Films is delighted to announce the release of two of his greats for the first time on DVD in the UK, the award-winning masterpiece L’Avventura, the film that established him as an international talent and another Cannes winner Identification Of A Woman. Both films will be released on 16 June 2008.
Just answer the question below for your chance to win these movies on DVD!
"L'Avventura gave me one of the most profound shocks I've ever had at the movies. ... [It] changed my perception of cinema and the world around me and made both seem limitless."
Martin Scorsese
Sight & Sound voted it the second best film of all time beaten only by Citizen Kane.
L’Avventura is Antonioni’s tour de force, a landmark film that put him on the international map and garnered huge critical acclaim at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, winning the Special Jury Prize. The plot centres around a group of socialites on a yachting trip off the coast of Sicily. When one of the women mysteriously disappears her boyfriend (Gabriele Ferzetti) and her best friend (Monica Vitti) help to search for her, but their relationship soon develops into a love affair.
Identification Of A Woman (aka Identificazione Di Una Donna) released in 1982, garnered Antonioni another win at Cannes Film Festival. After divorcing his wife, middle-aged film director (Tomas Milian) embarks on a passionate and obsessive relationship with an upper class woman that ends suddenly when she vanishes. While searching for her he encounters a variety of willing girls (among them Antonioni's future wife Enrico Fico) and decides to make a movie about women's relationships. Loneliness and abandonment are the main themes that, in Antonioni's inimitable style, are reflected in the fog and empty landscapes.
