This started as a DVD queue list for a friend.
It grew and grew and took on a life of its own. Oh well.

L’Avventura (Italian)
Watch this and you’ll realize how movie grammar was rewritten in the 1960's. The locations and scenery make the movie, the way scenes were photographed makes the movie, the supporting actors make the movie. The lead actors, Gabriele Ferzetti and Monica Vitti, reveal the least of the plot – but we know so much about how they feel –that "L'Avventura" moves us .
This is where we suggest DVDs that we have seen and liked or that friends /family may have missed. We try not to review them so much as give an impression, as if we were talking about the movie. Essentially, "You gotta watch this one." Programs are two DVDs that watched back-to-back seem to have greater resonance than watching them one at a time.
