Red Desert/Il Deserto Rosso, Italy/France 1964, Color, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni. Presented in ARH 302,
Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. No Friday screening this week.
This film by the director of Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point, and The Passenger tells the story of Giuliana (Monica Vitti), a lonely and depressed woman in search of any escape from the drabness of her marriage and life. Antonioni's excellent use of color emphasizes the variations in point of view, as well as highlighting Giuliana's emotional journeys.
The wife of a successful but distant industrialist (Carlo Chionetti), Giuliana spends her time talking with her son Valerio (Valerio Bartoleschi) and dreaming of the ship that will someday rescue her from monotonous reality. Giuliana's search for any change takes her from her lonely marriage through the polluted Italian landscape, past striking industrial workers, to a lifeless orgy, a small moment of personal connection, and finally, a sense of indifference. Antonioni, a master of subtle manipu lation, shows here a remarkable amount of sensitivity in his depiction of a tired life.
