L'Avventurra

Our time in Oslo was a bit of a bust. We found the city uninspiring and unaffordable. But all those taxes do produce a number of wonderful underused cultural institutions around the city which are mostly free. Look at those great programs!

We were lucky enough to catch a screening of Antonioni's L'Avventurra. Previously I had only seen Blow-Up, of which I am not a fan. But by this film I was captivated.
Monica Vitti has a breathtakingly beautiful presence on the island on-screen.She is the perfect balance to the rocky landscape. The entire film had a beautiful quality I can't yet describe - something I could get lost in.
