What they share
Theyboth carry the cerebral, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Name of the Rose, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Passenger is
Saharan dust. A fly buzzing. An American journalist seeks rebels, finds only sand. Then, a convenient corpse in the next room. Passport and itinerary swapped. Now, pursued across Europe by men he doesn't know. Antonioni's ennui is best served cold.
