THE PASSENGER at AFI FEST 2007 Presented by Audi

Kinda hard not to make a good-looking movie with such locations

I once thought that The Passenger was simply about a man who wanted to be free of his old identity and couldn't quite shake his old self. Antonioni said that it was actually about an "observer" [his profession: a reporter] who wishes to be a "doer" [a vaguely romantic gunrunner supporting a fledgling democratic/socialist rebellion].

[thepodeltaitaly]

Today I see that this character desires to have the moral purpose of the man that he exchanges lives with. Ironically, Antonioni's camera is almost an objective observer itself (especially in the final scene), usually his camera is related to character/consciousness, however, in this film it is related to theme, but it's also poetically free.

One of the most memorable scenes in this film, along with the problems in the desert and the interview...

this is my favorite movie. there is nothing to explain about the end. there is no meaning behind his death. the circumstances played out in his favor, and sometimes they didn't. it's refreshing to have something unclouded, quiet, even in style. a great achievement.
