"The Red Desert" takes the mental state and chaotic heart of a woman as the central content of the film. The film sensitively and accurately reproduces the inner world of modern people. Antonioni expresses the mentality of modern people and modern industrial civilization together, and the ideological direction of the film is thus more clear. The reason why human emotions are as barren as deserts may be the rapid development of industrial technology. It is the director's highly questioning of modern civilization. In the film, Antonioni simplified or even abandoned narrative and dramatic conflicts, creatively using color as an element of the film. Color in the film seems not only the reproduction of natural colors, but more subjective and emotional. He uses color. To convey the emotions of the characters and create the atmosphere of the film. The composition of the film is full of tension, with a strong sense of abstract painting, highlighting the chaotic and unstable mental state of the heroine. Like Antonioni’s usual style, the actor’s performance is vague and neutral

Desolation feels so beautiful, I like it so much, I'm going to Hebei to go out and try to describe the inner world of patients with severe depression. The sound + the noise and loneliness built by colors are very subtle. It's a great pity that the film is built in an already very leisurely place. It is difficult for the middle-class European society to impress the audience of East Asian social animals under the hard model.

The color Antonioni is more visually depressing than the black and white version, only the color of the sea in the story is alive. There are more industrial symbols, and it is no longer only about the relationship between men and women. Conversation under the loud factory noise. All, all wail tearing, melancholic visualization.
