L'Avventura was directed by Michelangel Antonioni and is mentioned in Corrigan's Short Guide to Writing About Film. Seeing as this film was made in the early 1960's, some of us may be unfamiliar with it. In brief, the movie is about a girl who goes missing. Her boyfriend and close friend begin to look for her, but eventually fall for each other. The film has some interesting elements, including some angles that were not used at-large in that era. Despite the movie being old and odd in some ways, it could also be used as a candidate for our final project in class. Almost all six approaches could be applied to the movie. As we can see in Corrigan's book, a person could write a lengthy essay on just one scene alone.
The link that I am providing includes an analytical piece written by Gregory Solman, a film scholar. The other link that I'm including has some quick facts about the film.
I'll be honest, this trailer really doesn't explain what the movie is all about. Yet, it does have a catchy tune and shows a good amount of the scenes. Pick up the volume and nod your heads to this one!
