The article presents an analysis of 'The Adventure' (L'Avventura, 1960), with particular attention paid to the creation of the character of the heroine. It is suggested that it is in this film, that Antonioni for the first time formulates the concept of love, based on the need of overcoming the complex of romantic love, and the pursuit of such erotic relations, that would correspond to social changes taking place in the contemporary life. The idea of 'love as adventure' implies deep changes in erotic identity, which changes can be followed through the analysis of historical and dramaturgical context of the creation of the character. Claudia is both an observer, remaining on the outside or on the border of the represented reality, and a participant of the episodes comprising her nomadic adventure in love.

In the first section of the article, the author presents the concept of focalization; a narrative category formulated in the 1970s in the work of Gerard Gennette, but particularly in the work of Mieke Bal (who points that focalization and narration are distinct activities). In this section he also considers related concept of plot (and plotting) developed by Peter Brooks. In the second part the author analyzes the famous scene from Antoninioni's 'Blow Up' - the sequence of photographic reconstruction of events - and sees it as a metaphor of 'film image'. He shows the role the external and internal focalization plays in this narrative discourse. In the case of external focalization, he sees it not so much as a tool of a particular ideology, but (similarly to Lacanian Gaze) a centre of fundamental nonconclusivity.
