    This film makes extensive use of expressive colors and is hailed as the first true color film and won the Venice Golden Lion Award. 1. It is dark and cold, involving the industrialization picture, ecological destruction, spiritual crisis, indifference and loneliness; 2. Noise and out of focus, dizzy color group; 3. The first and last young woman in green clothes wandering in the gray factory with her son in brown, which is extremely eye-catching; 4. The still group image in the dense fog is...

    The director said that industrialization is not the cause of neurosis but the fuse, and artificial scenery is sometimes more beautiful than monotonous and natural (even if it is poisonous). The scene of unpleasant scenery, the scene is the mental image. The dense smoke in the factory is like a huge creature, and a sea vessel with a shallow draft is like a boat on the road. The flower that the host and the host stubbornly entered the painting when they went out together for the first time was...

    After more than an hour of long and dullness, the scene of the beautiful woman on the lonely island was highlighted with vitality. The negative state of human sensibility when it encounters industrial society has been portrayed in detail by the director. The arbitrariness of the cure is to return to the wild nature. This logic of choking and abandoning food is also common in perceptual animals....

    Industrialization makes people feel uneasy about their own situation. Color distortion, focus shift, disorderly editing, electronic sound effects. "If I leave, I will take everything with me, including the ashtray." The story-telling seascape is the only scene in the film that has not been processed by filters or oil paint, but it is illusory compared to the overall gloomy and suppressed tone. There are pink sand, slow-tempering boats, fleshy rocks, and siren's...

    Black houses, yellow poisonous smoke, white streets, red walls, and gray swamps, accompanied by the colorless her, plunged into the blood-colored desert. Antonioni's works are always full of an abstract and empty beauty. The inner heart of the character blends with the background, like a painting, which is his consistent characteristic. Of course, the narrative is chaotic, vague, and empty, which are also his usual...

    The sky is purple, the street is blue, the sea is black, and the smoke is yellow. In a white mist, a woman in red walks out, her heart is...

    Covering the human voice with the noisy assembly line sound, the movie created a strange discomfort from the beginning, and the occasional electric sound and harsh rubbing sound pushed this discomfort to a climax, and then with natural sound. As the background, the picture is full of traces of industrial pollution, realizing a sense of "separation" of sound and picture; using external forms (such as cabins) to divide the characters, using different positions to reflect the process of...

Red Desert quotes

  • Giuliana: Are you a leftist or a rightist?

    Corrado Zeller: Why do you ask such a question? Are you interested in politics?

    Giuliana: Good Lord, no. I was just wondering.

    Corrado Zeller: It's like asking, "What do you believe in?" Those are big words, Giuliana, that calls for precise answers. Deep down... one doesn't really know what one believes in. One believes in humanity... in a certain sense. A little less in justice. A little more in progress. One believes in socialism... perhaps. What matters is to act as one thinks right - right for oneself and for others. In other words, with a clean conscience. Mine is at peace. Does that answer your question?

    Giuliana: That's some bunch of words you strung together.

  • Linda, Max's Wife: Where's Augusto?

    Mili: I dumped him.

    Linda, Max's Wife: Since when?

    Mili: I can't go to bed with a man who earns less than me.
