If there ever were a movie more hated upon initial viewing, it's L'AVVENTURA. I'm talking infuriated, pull a DO THE RIGHT THING and throw a trash can through a window angry.
But that following viewing is a goldmine.
I've seen L'AVVENTURA about a half dozen times, and it's impressive.
FORMIDABLE is the word I think best describes L'AVVENTURA.
It doesn't cater to the audience. In style, story, character. But if you meet the film on its terms, you really get to see just how impressive it is.

100% agree. Watch it on a big screen if you can, just to get sucked into it.
