The Passenger
Jack Nicholson is at his best in Michelangelo Antonioni’s tale of a burnt-out political correspondent swapping identities with a dead man.
Director: Michelangelo Antonioni
Overview
Disenchanted by his work, a political correspondent exchanges identities with a passing acquaintance he finds dead in an African hotel room – knowing little about him, so that his ‘new life’ is circumscribed by uncertainty. Antonioni’s last great film boasts a typically eloquent use of landscape and architecture, while Nicholson gives one of his finest performances as the burnt-out protagonist on the run from… himself?
