BEAU GESTE meets WAITING FOR GODOT in this haunting adaptation of renowned Italian writer Dino Buzzati’s controversial 1938 novel about life, honor, mystery, paranoia and death during wartime.

Infantry lieutenant Drogo (Jacques Perrin) is stationed at a remote desert garrison on the mist-shrouded border of the North Kingdom. Filling their days with endless drilling, the soldiers of Fortezza Bastiano spend the long nights wondering about an enemy no one has ever seen. As the days stretch into months, the strain of waiting for attack takes its toll on Drago’s comrades.

As the last film from Italian director Valerio Zurlini before his death in 1982, DESERT features a legendary international cast Vittorio Gasman, Giuliano Gemma, Max Von Sydow, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Philippe Noiret, Fernando Rey, and Francisco Rabal.

For the first time, a newly remastered deluxe 2-disc edition, including complete soundtrack CD of Ennio Morricone’s original score.
