RED DESERT (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Michelangelo Antonioni

Red Deserttells 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 andLa notte– gives 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 Desertwas a deserved winner of the Golden Lion at the 1964 Venice Film Festival and a high point in modern cinema.
