Michelangelo Antonioni made films that defied convention, and watching a movie by Antonioni—whose attention to landscapes and visual space often halts plot development—can be a trying experience. “Michelangelo Antonioni: The Italian Treasures” looks at eight of the director’s most important Italian films, including 1960’s L’Avventura, which at the time of its release was denounced by some critics for its inconclusive story.
