Il Deserto Rosso (1964) / Country: Italy, France / Director: Michelangelo Antonioni / Length: 120 min. / Language: Italian / Subtitles: English, Albanian / Entrance: FREE
"In Red Desert, we are on Earth but also on some remote planet, in the present time but also (perhaps) the future. Artists of ideas like Antonioni—unrepentantly highbrow and serious—engage in a permanent gamble with the public: will they be judged pretentious for their pains? In Red Desert, it seems to me, all the cylinders are firing. One cannot miss its passion—or its pessimism. The movie is a beautiful, haunting, and complex meditation on the spiritual cost of modernity."
- Mark Le Fanu, The Criterion Collection
