Red Desert
Il deserto rosso
This is the story of a woman… Her hidden thirsts and hungers…
The suburbs of 1960s Ferrara poison a woman’s psyche. Between a husband’s factory commissions and a lover’s borrowed car rides she rehearses her collapse in acid greens and toxic fog. A slow slide into chromatic delirium that almost feels chic.
