L’avventura
Making lists is an activity moviegoers are fond of. Every year, the same ritual: compilation of the ten best films, with comparative analyses, debates, heated discussions. But what about the ultimate list of the most outstanding films in the history of cinema? That is to say, those films that must be seen, those that have forever transformed the art of cinema, but also our way of seeing a culture, of understanding the world as well as our own lives? This program aims to tackle this challenge with nearly eighty films, produced between 1916 and 1960, while waiting for your lists!

Michelangelo Antonioni
Michelangelo Antonioni is an Italian film director and screenwriter. He received numerous awards, including an Honorary Academy Award in 1995 and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 1997 Venice Film Festival. He stands among the select few directors, alongside Robert Altman, Henri-Georges Clouzot, and Jean-Luc Godard, who have achieved the remarkable feat of winning the top three awards at the premier European film festivals held in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. A key figure in modern cinema since his debut in 1950 with Story of a Love Affair, a film that marked the end of neorealism and the beginning of a new era in Italian cinema, Antonioni wrote some of the most intense and profound pages of 1960s and 1970s cinema, particularly with his famous Trilogy on Modernity and Its Discontent, consisting of the three black-and-white films L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and L'Eclisse (1962), all starring his then-companion, Monica Vitti. With his formally innovative works that renew cinematic dramaturgy, he is considered the author of the first films to tackle modern themes of incommunicability, alienation, and existential malaise.
