Film Screening: L’Avventura

A special screening in support of the exhibition "Terry O'Neill, Stars"

LAvventura 209id_115_087_w1600

About the event

An iconic piece of challenging 1960s cinema and a gripping narrative on its own terms, L’avventura concerns the enigmatic disappearance of a young woman during a yachting trip off the coast of Sicily, and the search taken up by her disaffected lover (Gabriele Ferzetti) and best friend (Monica Vitti, in her breakout role). Antonioni’s controversial international sensation is a gorgeously shot tale of modern ennui and spiritual isolation.

Runtime: 143 minutes

Movies were integral to Terry O’Neill’s life both personally and professionally. He grew up in post-war London where radio and two black-and-white TV channels were the only entertainment available, unless you could afford the cinema and dance halls. However, as his career exploded and Hollywood came calling for his services on set, Terry said “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.”
