IL deserto rosso (Red Desert) 1964 Michelangelo The band Vallanzasca

Content: Giuliana (Monica Vitti) had a few weeks ago in an accident which, although only small consequences moved, but she said such a shock that they are four weeks in hospital had to stay and is still suffering. While her husband Ugo, as the head of a factory also made by a strike by workers claim their attacks pragmatic terms, behaves Corrado Zeller (Richard Harris), a colleague of her husband, much more sensitive.

Buy smitten by the beautiful woman he wants them to know more and understand more their state of inner turmoil. But Corrado itself suffers from the pressure to conform and is in his reactions and mannerisms in trouble ...



Three Women and three men lounging in a small room on a mattress. Eyes meet, a dress is opened, contacts are indicated. The lewd conversation is about an aphrodisiac and its impact. After one of the women has spontaneously taken it to, she proclaims loudly, now want to sleep with a man.

This central scene is an example of the real theme of the film - the human emotions. That sounds contradictory, since Michelangelo Antonioni has a reputation to give the form in preference to the content. His graphic, accessible to every detail, images radiate a perfection that give a contrary impression - emptiness and feeling cold. In "La notte" , the central part of its previously incurred trilogy, he brought this look to perfection, but even in "L'Eclisse" , the final part, you could feel the bubbling under the surface that in "Il Deserto Rosso" to the inner storm intensified.


Antonioni used color for the first time in a movie, to emphasize this condition visually. Associated with the images of plants - which he on the design of his documentary from 1949 "Sette canne, un vestito" recourse - created an explosive mixture of noise, fire and smoke that is accented by a score consisting almost entirely of noise. The result of unrestricted Absonderns industrial waste is a destroyed environment, which has turned into an oil-contaminated, shiny red desert.


The only green seen on the mantle Giulianas (Monica Vitti) as she walks by with her son to the strikers, who are at the gates of the factory system. Her husband, Ugo (Carlo Chionetti) is a senior engineer of the plant, which does not stop them, one of the picket line to ask for the already half-eaten bread. Your little son is refusing to to eat them, but she bites into it eagerly. Your green jacket can not hide that it glows red in its interior.


Monica Vitti does this woman slowly emerge from the eye of the beholder. It begins with a story about an accident she had several weeks ago. It had been only minor injuries, but Giuliana had suffered a shock from which she recovered only slowly. It will always gripped by seizures, suffering from insomnia and tries desperately to get a sense of inner turmoil under control. For an outsider to do these reactions because of the accident even had little effect, hard to understand - and Antonioni had chosen just for Giulianas husband Ugo. He selected for this role a layman in order to emphasize his lack of empathy yet. Ugo is in accordance with pale, always factual arguments and soon disappears.


total contrast to his colleague Corrado Zeller (Richard Harris) who is immediately smitten by Giuliana, and tries to get to know them closer. This results in a first encounter in their new store that she has already rented, not knowing what they want to sell there. Antonioni made this sequence almost colorless - In a uniform gray to be gone from the each life seems. As Giuliana Corrado says she wants to paint it blue and green business, it is clear their desire for customization. These muted colors match the color-free environment.


Corrado has one hand have sufficient sensitivity to the internal state of understanding Giulianas, acts on the other hand inhibited strange. Even if he can articulate what motivates him, his body language is the opposite. Richard Harris This is the prototype of a visually strong, confident man, emphasized by his clear facial features and perfectly parted hair. Nevertheless, his attitude always slightly bent and his
missing Giuliana approach to the ultimate conclusion. In his piece, similar repression mechanisms show while trying to conform to social norms. Corrado manage this, better than Giuliana, but the love scene that occurs at some point between them is yet to bear in their tortured little awkwardness of, and ultimately a clear indication of his failure. If he really understood Giulianas inner state - and therefore his own - it should not have come to this.

"Il Deserto Rosso" so as a study of depressive Woman is to be understood, much short-sighted, because his co-writer Tonino Guerra Antonioni and understand the entire society to be depressed. Indeed, those most closely Giulianas reaction to their inner feelings, because given the pictures that Antonioni spreads exemplifies the state of human socialization before the eye of the beholder, gets her behavior

almost normal trains. But Antonioni Antonioni would not if it the possibility of human eruption would have considered. This remains the machines and factories reserved, while his protagonists go the way of adaptation.

Antonioni succeed in this great pictures, but the quality of the film to reduce it to its shape, would be insufficient. On the contrary, these images even though they show industrial plants and their effects, while of great beauty - a symbolic representation of the oppression of human emotions and needs.


In one of the best scenes of the film, Antonioni gives a moment for an alternative. Giuliana tells her son lying in bed sick the tale of a girl who spends her days all alone in a beautiful bay. She does not like their peers, because they are already behaving like adults. One day, approaching a mysterious, seemingly empty boat in the bay that backs off at that moment when the girl would have reached almost floating. Outwardly, nothing has happened, but suddenly, a voice that sings a strange-sounding atonal melody in a sequence of notes (the only accompanying melody of the entire film). The girl tried to find out where the voice comes and discovered that the rocks that she did not notice until now, have human characteristics. From there comes the more pleasant sounding melody. When her son Giuliana asks what rocks would have sung as she replies, "All".
