About this product

Product Information

Il deserto rosso ' was Michelangelo Antonioni's first work using colour film and the director intended it to be akin to a painting, resulting in a bold experiment in colour and tone, often bordering on abstraction. The drama itself is set in the factory-polluted valley of Ravenna, in which Italy's post-Second World War industrial renaissance is well under way, though at an apparently heavy cost to the environment. Against this backdrop, Giuliana is a young mother fighting a suicidal depression, not helped by the grimness of her surroundings and the fact that her engineer husband, Ugo is out of work while there's a strike at his factory. And when Corrado Zeller one of Ugo's friends arrives in town, Giuliana is dangerously drawn to him... Michelangelo Antonioni's 1964 masterpiece is shown for the first time on Film4. And his earlier film L'Avventura will be screened next week as part of The Story of Film Season, tying in with More4's history of the medium, The Story of Film: An Odyssey.
