criterioncorner: Monica Vitti and Michelangelo Antonioni at Cannes, 1960 photo comes from Movie Morlocks, who claim that L’Avventura ”was loudly booed by many audience members during its debut at Cannes and Vitti and Antonioni were forced to flee the screening.” very dramatic stuff. then again, Cannes is the same festival whereat Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy supposedly just enjoyed a standing ovation that lasted anywhere from 8 minutes to 3 hours, depending on whom you ask.  (h/t/ @RyanGallagher)
