and they won’t

Building the environment: in a film where the industrial defines and affects its characters through their story lines, but also through its physical manifestation (fumes, burnt waste etc.) establishing it with a variety of wide shots and middle ones is critical. The only healthy expression of nature in the film is the embroidered forest on the couch of the worker Giuliana and Corrado visit, trying to persuade him to work with the company. A made up forest, the only one that can exist in the Red Desert universe. The colours stand out in each shot, highlighting a different emotion of (mainly) Vitti’s character, with red having the most graspable meaning of all.

The film: Red Desert (1964)

Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Costume Designer: Gitt Magrini
