If you loved Red Desert, try Il Grido

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Il Grido has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Red Desert — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Desert, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il Grido is

Othello without jealousy. A factory worker drifts, heartbroken, down the Po River valley. Antonioni’s early, bleak study of inarticulate grief benefits from Steve Cochran's hangdog presence.
