#Bales2025FilmChallenge of August 12: green: food or fashion

Il deserto rosso [Red Desert] (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1964)
Antonioni's first film in colour beautifully utilises Vitti's brilliance – of her auburn hair, her porcelain teint, her vivid costumes (designed by #PaolaCarloni) – against the drab landscape.

#Bales2025FilmChallenge of July 1: my ideal vacation spot

Il mare [The Sea] (Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, 1962)
An island, in this case Capri (granted I've never been there), off-season, in a space and time lost in the mists. It'll occasionally rain and it's cold enough to dress up.
