The Passenger (1975)
Directed by
Michelangelo Antonioni this film stars Jack Nicholson, Maria
Schneider and Jenny Runacre. A journalist travelling in a North
African country decides to escape his life by taking the identity of
the man who died in the hotel room next to his.
Compared to many
American films the pace of this film is really slow and may not be
something that is to the taste of everyone but the final long
take-tracking shot is very impressive. The plot of the film is about
identity and the desire to escape ones self and works well. There are
a number of great locations and the minimal use of dialogue really
helps add to the atmosphere of the film.
5/5
