Red Desert (1964)

Red Desert (Il deserto rosso) (1964) In a bleak rundown industrial area, young Giuliana tries to cope with life. She’s married to Ugo, the manager of a local plant, but is having an affair with one of his co-workers, Corrado Zeller, who is visiting. Giuliana is unstable, not quite knowing anymore whether her role is wife, mother, or just another person in the world. Her escape from life is short-lived: Zeller is just using her to satisfy his own needs and desires. ??garykmcdAwards: 7 wins & 4 nominationsWorldwide Gross: $10,693
