Red Desert

“Red Desert, watched this at Metrograph. Hand acting, baby, hand acting. Inspo.”

“Another one that I want to take is Antonioni's Deserto Rosso. I saw the full retrospective of Antonioni when I was 20 and that completely changed my way of seeing things. Especially I have to say because Antonioni has this very kind of heterosexual binary way of looking at things, but when the question is how to look at a space, how to look at architecture, that is really amazing.”

“Red Desert is one of my all-time favorites. And I can't leave this out. It's my favorite movie.”

“There was a screening of Red Desert which is maybe my favorite of his films, a director's cut at MoMA, and somebody took us as a surprise. Antonioni is Cindy my wife's favorite filmmaker. I went and sat next to him and said this must be an amazing night for you and he said no I hate it tonight. I said why? He said there are 14 frames in the film that I can't stand and every time I see the film it breaks my heart but I can't do those over again.”
