This is the most beautiful sequence in La notte: the camera tracks alongside Roberto's car as it passes beneath street-lamps, alternately lost in darkness and half-illuminated. Rain dominates the soundtrack and distorts the characters' features; there are no fully legible surfaces here.

The screenwriter-industrial complex may be gutshot, but in it heyday, it produced some gems. The first page of Sam Peckinpah’s draft for an adaptation of Charles Neider’s novel. (Later radically reworked to become Marlon Brando’s ‘One-Eyed Jacks’)

Beloved grim realist auteur Aki Kaurismaki quipped in a 2011 Guardian interview: “The only way for mankind to get out of this misery is to kill the one percent who own everything. The one percent who have put us in the position where humanity has no value.”

‘Why do I need people?’ asks Giuliana in Red Desert.
She regards this desperate need as a sign of weakness, as the primary cause of her illness – and yet those who claim not to share this need, in Antonioni’s films, turn out to be in denial. Red Desert is about the cost of such denial.
