Films/DVD Asylum

...and it feels like everything around you is shit and more shit, reach for the classics. It will sooth you.

Wasn't really that I felt bad that day, I simply wanted to see Antonioni/Vitti duo again, so I rented "L'Avventura".

Too bad I am really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. This was the only film from the trilogy that the store had (the other two being L'Eclipse and La Notte). Thy didn't even have the Passenger (Profession: Reporter)...

It has been many years since we saw it last time, and some things about it we have forgotten. Bot not the general impression.

It is a gen, masterpiece any way you look at it. And Monica is simply as gorgeous and impressive as she has ever been. One of the best Antonioni's...

When it comes to true classics like that, my words are simply too pale. Books are written on this subject. It is unquestionably one of the films that shall forever remain as something that we need to return to every now and then.

I also hope that they WILL finally restore the films and we will get good quality DVD of the trilogy. Anyone heard of such plans?

The way it is now, some will be turned off by the poor quality of the tape - although I sincerely hope you will be able to see through it. It is more than worth it.
