Michelangelo Antonioni's 1960s panoramas of contemporary aIienation were decade-defining artistic events, and Red Desert, his first color film, remains one of his greatest. This provocative Iook at the spiritual desolation of the technoIogicaI age - about a disaffected woman, briIliantIy portrayed by Antonioni muse Monica Vitti , wandering through a bleak industriaI Iandscape beset by power pIants and environmentaI toxins, and tentativeIy fIirting with her husband's coworker, played by Richard Harris - continues to exert force over viewers. With one startIing, painterIy composition after another - of abandoned fishing cottages, eIectrical towers, overwhelming docked ships - Red Desert creates a nearly apocaIyptic image of its time, and confirms Antonioni as cinema's preeminent poet of the modern age. |
