Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1960s panoramas of contemporary alienation were decade-defining artistic events, and Red Desert, his first color film, is perhaps his most epochal. This provocative look at the spiritual desolation of the technological age – about a disaffected woman, brilliantly portrayed by Antonioni muse Monica Vitti, wandering through a bleak industrial landscape beset by power plants and environmental toxins, and tentatively flirting with her husband’s coworker, played by Richard Harris – continues to keep viewers spellbound. With one startling, painterly composition after another – of abandoned fishing cottages, electrical towers, looming docked ships – Red Desert creates a nearly apocalyptic image of its time, and confirms Antonioni as cinema’s preeminent poet of the modern age.

Commentary - an audio commentary with Italian film scholar David Forgacs. This is the same outstanding commentary that also appears on the BFI release of Red Desert. It is exceptionally informative.
