Reflecting on our existence, that's what Antonioni wants to do. There is definitely a sense of avant-garde in the 20th century.
Compared with "Adventures", the sound processing in "Red Desert" is more like the unbearable noise of neurotic patients, and it also highlights the destruction of human spirits in Ravenna, an industrialized city.
Blurred focus, fantastic scenery, and noise editing can create a sense of alienation in the industrial age. In particular, the blurred focus of nearby characters creates a feeling of being alone in the crowd.
The accidental events, such as seeing a pile of cement, a newspaper falling from the sky, the scenery in the fog, the looming presence of the other, the island paradise of her childhood, and the Greek-style singing, are described as plots. Totally psychological.
Expressing the non-existent state of human beings, this is Pirandayo.

From the matter of asking for bread that others have eaten, we know that this woman is not normal. Like Myo, she doesn't wear a bra.
I don't know if it was a wise decision to cast the newly famous Englishman Hals as the Seducer. He's aggressive and active and still looks like a boxer. He said he believed in socialism and was going to fight for it his whole life (translation wrong?) talking about building factories in South America and continuing to exploit workers.
And the management of the factory huddled in a small red room to have fun, a house within a house, Harris's addicting gaze. They were talking about the effect of eating quail eggs, which started a suspenseful effect, as if everyone was waiting for the aphrodisiac effect after eating quail eggs. Vitti said, "I want to have sex." - The frolic in a little red house reminds me of Sen Rikyu's tea house, and it's not easy to lie.
Viti told her son about her childhood, swimming on an isolated island, singing continuously, like Greek mythology, volcanic rocks, like the ubiquitous flesh. It's a stroke of genius.
And like "Days on the Clouds", there is a hazy beauty that Antonioni has insisted on for a long time, the feeling of being broken.
The hostess came to the door and went to room 309 to find an engineer for help. She said in a delirium that she was afraid of everything, factories, people and everything. Almost asking for rape. Rather than expressing movements, it is more about expressing twisted and hesitant dance.
However, there is still no escape. The hollowed-out body is still there.

Finally, like in the ruins of the factory, the red desert is called, which is simply a pioneering work in the history of film. The huge subjective and objective difference is simply "Dancers in the Darkness". Let the movie end in such a powerful way.
Spiritual death, it is useless to see a doctor.
The reconciliation is the last sentence: the bird will never fly from there again.
