Il deserto rosso
1964, Michelangelo Antonioni

Italy–France
117 minutes, Italian with Russian subtitles

Starring: Monica Vitti, Richard Harris, Carlo Chionetti, Rita Renoir

The latest restoration of the Venice Film Festival winner and one of Michelangelo Antonioni’s greatest masterpieces.

Giuliana wants to escape her own fate. Her relationship with her husband, Ugo, has long since fallen apart. He blames the discord on the aftermath of the car accident his wife survived, but in fact, the situation is far more complex and disturbing. She finds it easier to open up to her husband’s business partner than to Ugo himself.

Shot from Red Desert, 1964

In Red Desert all the cylinders are firing. One cannot miss its passion—or its pessimism. The movie is a beautiful, haunting, and complex meditation on the spiritual cost of modernity.

—Mark Le Fanu, The Criterion Current

In Red Desert, encounters, conversations and actions are repeatedly submerged in inhospitable industrial spaces and fall into the agonising gap between alienation and the desire for intimacy. The film remains an unparalleled commentary on modern loneliness.
