Red Desert (1964)
Directed by
Michelangelo Antonioni this film stars Monica Vitti and Richard
Harris. A woman in Italy struggles to find meaning in her life
against the back drop of an industrial landscape.
The story here is
rooted in dialogue and almost alien industrial landscapes which helps
highlight the protagonists struggle to find a connection to the world
around her. While this is a really well constructed film, doing a
good job of exploring it's themes, it was a little slow and dialogue
heavy for my taste. There are some great shots of fog and smoke in
particular as things disappear or reappear as well as some impressive
use of colour.
5/5
