The Red Desert (1964)

Posted on 13:24 by khali
Essential Viewing
Italy/France
Feature Film
Original Title: Il deserto rosso
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Writers: Michelangelo Antonioni, Tonino Guerra
Cinematographer: Carlo Di Palma
Composer: Giovanni Fusco
Cast: Monica Vitti, Richard Harris, Carlo Chionetti, Xenia Valderi, Rita Renoir, Lili Rheims, Aldo Grotti, Valerio Bartoleschi, Emanuela Paola Carboni

Filled with industrial angst and indistinct anxiety, Vitti’s Giuliana wanders through her rusting, rain soaked, smoky hometown, barely able to cope with the challenges that her life presents her, in Antonioni’s strikingly shot, disquietingly scored, and affectingly acted magnum opus. Iain.Stott
