Review of Red Desert (1964) by Genaro N — 21 Feb 2007
This film is like listening the work of Autechre, (duo characterized of cold, mechanic and sterile environment). Watching this film I find a kind of Synchrony between their music and the landscapes portrayed.
There is a feeling of pos apocalyptic world where the industries and machines have consumed all recognizable sign of humanity. and this is reality nowadays. The protagonist in this film is the result of a process of degradation, in the previous three films of Antonioni alienation tetralogy there is a perseverance of humanity, you can see something natural, but in this film all of this has completely disappeared.
A masterwork that influenced such famous guys like Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch.
