Cinema Atlas Connection
Yes, 'L'Avventura' is a film that has always fascinated me, especially its structure, the way it becomes a meditation on absence. When I was writing *Broken Embraces*, the idea of a missing person and how that affects the survivors, the mystery of it, definitely had the spirit of Antonioni's film.
