Starring Monica Vitti, Richard Harris, Carlo Chionetti

In tonight's film Monica Vitti, the star of L'Avventura, La Notte and L'Eclisse, portrays Giuliana, a girl suffering from acute depression who finds even inanimate objects hostile and aggressive.
The Red Desert, Antonioni's first film in colour, employs sequences dominated by a single colour in a remarkable way to express the complex reactions and emotions of his characters.
