Antonioni's mid-career masterpiece - his first film in colour - has never looked more beautiful in this new high-definition restoration.
Red Desert tells the story of Giuliana (Monica Vitti), a young married woman suffering a mental and emotional crisis and embarking tentatively on an affair. Vitti - Antonioni's lover and muse, and the star of his earlier films L'avventura, L'eclisse and La notte - fives a magnificent, startling performance. Richard Harris also stars as the restless young man who finds himself drawn to her.
Italy's industrial landscape is rendered both beautiful and apocalyptic in Antonioni's hands. Red Desert is a stunning film from the great Italian auteur, deserved winner of the Golden Lion at the 1964 Venice Film Festival and a high point in modern cinema.
