The first true color film, and from here, color begins to have a symbolic meaning in film rather than just as a meaningless presentation of the natural appearance of things. The red desert is not actually red everywhere. Instead, the film is filled with a lot of cold gray, blue and white colors of factories and steel. The coat the heroine wears at the beginning is not red, but a symbol of danger and strangeness. green. Only in the middle of the film "House of Lust" does red appear in a concentrated manner, symbolizing the indescribable and uncontrollable lust. And in the cold climate, in the alienating fog that surrounded the harbour hut, this high-density red gave nothing but a sense of angst. At the end of the film there is also a focus on red—a rusty red of the ship's steel. If the truth of the previous life has not completely collapsed the heroine, and the barren "red" has not completely enveloped her, then the heroine has completely fallen into the inescapable "red desert". "I have to think, what happened to me, that's my life, that's what it is", once you start questioning life, you can't escape life. Of course, the perfect solution for normal people is - "don't think about it".
