Michelangelo Antonioni's RED DESERT is a somber tale about Giuliana, a young wife and mother struggling to understand her crumbling psyche, as she slowly loses her mind in the midst of a deteriorating environment. Set in a stark gray, heavily industrialized area of rural Italy where Giuliana's husband, Ugo works at a factory, and receives an extended visit from a business partner, Corrado with whom Giuliana has a strange affair. A cold and haunting film, with complex, unorthodox sound effects and unusual visuals that illustrate Giuliana's psyche, RED DESERT is an Antonioni masterpiece that will linger powerfully in the viewer's mind well after the film has ended. Starring Monica Vitti, Carlo Chionetti and Richard Harris.
