- Abstract:
- This essay explores Michelangelo Antonioni's "L'Avventura" from a Marxist perspective, including its depiction of the Italian bourgeoisie of "il boom" era of the 1950s and 1960s. Numerous frame enlargements are used to substantiate the claim that even the film's style contributes to its representations of socioeconomic class.
