Red Desert survives as a comedy sketch. L'Eclisse and The Passenger hold up.

the great thing about Antonioni is you can make dinner and leave the movie playing.

Trying to remember the back story of Zabriskie Point that Hoberman went into in The Dream Life. Frechette robbed a bank at one point?

Always like Antonioni-esque movies more than I like actual Antonioni movies, i.e. Viva L'Amore.

Yeah, he was part of a radical political group that robbed a bank (iirc, he also helped finance the group with his paycheck from the film), and he died under mysterious circumstances while in jail for the crime.

i watch this stuff :-(
in fact, i watched the four monica vitti films just recently - apart from anything else, they preserve some wonderful early sixties architecture (nobody depicts buildings and people together in space/time better than antonioni) and decor, and La Notte and Red Desert have really interesting modernist electronic scores.
p much agree w what scorsese says here - I realized that Antonioni’s visual language was keeping us focused on the rhythm of the world: the visual rhythms of light and dark, of architectural forms, of people positioned as figures in a landscape that always seemed terrifyingly vast. And there was also the tempo, which seemed to be in sync with the rhythm of time, moving slowly, inexorably

The Passenger is my favorite, with L'Avventura and L'Eclisse running close.
It's sounds funny, but one of my favorite things about his films is that they don't make extreme demands on your attention, they're loose feeling and not oppressive. You can kinda drift in and out of them, but there's plenty to reward you if you decide to pay attention. Never got why some seem to see these movies as the prototype of artsy fartsy pretentiousness (outside of Blow Up).

Red Desert created that prototype.
