In the northern Italian industrial city of Ravenna, pervasive factory noise, polluted rivers, desolate suburbs, and empty streets create a scene reminiscent of a hell on earth. In the distance, a young woman dressed in green stands amidst towering smokestacks and pipes shrouded in mist. In this polluted and abandoned place, she appears restless and dazed. The slightly neurotic woman, Giuliana (played by Monica Vitti), is the wife of Hugo (Carlo Chionetti), the manager of the smelting plant. Hugo introduces her to his colleague, Corrado Zeller (Richard Harris). They are mutually attracted, and Giuliana finds it difficult to control her feelings, engaging in a physical relationship with Zeller. Gradually, she realizes that she can no longer restore the previous intimacy with her husband and son. Zeller's feelings for her still cannot soothe her lonely soul. This blood-soaked red desert is the bloody wasteland created by the machine industrial era's relentless destruction of humanity. This first color film by Italian neorealist director Michelangelo Antonioni, "Red Desert," won the Golden Lion at the 29th Venice International Film Festival in 1964. The film uses bold colors to depict the oppressive and alienating landscape of a barbaric industrial society on the human spirit. The narrative is simplified or even abandoned, leading to polarized reviews of the film.
