The reason why lots of people suffer from depression


This film illustrates how contemporary people suffer from depression. Apparantly giuliana has a perfect life, but inside she is broken, empty. No real connection with her husband who cannot understand her loneliness.

Inability to adapt to surroundings/changing/modernizing world?

People have suffered from Depression since the Dawn of Man. We just didn't understand what we know now and we're still a long way from ever truly understanding what makes us tick. Look at someone like Jim Carrey or even Catherine Zita-Jones, they have everything that SEEMS to make a person live with no worries, yet they suffer terribly. Robin Williams! I mean, the guy brings joy to literally MILLIONS of people, has it all... Doesn't matter. I love Red Desert because of its brutal honesty. Not too much dramatic effect, just some expressionism but the usual of MA, and that's that. Life is full of questions, answers don't exist.
