Red Desert

In the plant in Ravenna, we meet engineer Ugo (Carlo Chionetti), Richard Harris his guest Zeller, looking to hire workers, when Ugo's wife Giuliana (Monica Vitti), whom we've seen crossing the industrial landscape, appears, and whom they discuss later, in Michelangelo Antonioni's Red Desert, 1965.

Businessman Zeller (Richard Harris) visiting Ravenna, for no stated reason stops by the site of the shop being set up by neurotic Giuliana (Monica Vitti), the wife of his business contact, director Michelangelo Antonioni and his art director Piero Poletto at work, in Red Desert, 1965.

Director Michelangelo Antonioni’s opening, after artful credits on the same location, in industrial Ravenna finds his wife Monica Vitti, as troubled Giuliana, whom we’ll learn is not poor or starving, with her son Valerio (Bartoleschi), in Red Desert, 1965, also starring Richard Harris.
