Red Desert is a disappointing film. I was expecting much more. While it vividly uses a symbolic industrial landscape to envoke the inner demons of the female character, it seems very uninvolving and distancing. While not in the flop catagory as Zabriskie Point, Red Desert does not reach the heights of L'Avventura, Blow-Up, and The Passenger. Monica Vitti is superb, as usual. I'm sure this film gets better with repeated viewings.
