Antonioni's Red Desert
Is it true that this film was inspired by Red Desert?
shareThe look of the film? Yes. Alex Nepomniashy, the cinematographer, suggested Red Desert as a model, to convey the sense of a world hostile to human habitation.
shareI recently saw Red Desert and watched Safe tonight and there is absolutely no similarity between these films.

Of course there are. Both about unhappy wives suffering from alienating an illness in a toxic environment.

Haynes mentions it's an influence in an interview offhandedly. Also another film, and Don Delillo's book White Noise.
