I saw "The Passenger" in a film class at university years ago, and myself along with most others in the class found it to be one of the best things we saw during the whole 8 month class of two evenings a week, 5 hours a night.

Surely Antonioni and Nicholson could not possibly have imagined how well this film would serve their respective reputations a generation later! Cherish Schneider

The crafting of this film is pure perfection. The pace is slow, but you surrender yourself to it, and your consciousness just sinks into the film. An immensely enjoyable experience. The shots and cinematography are absolutely stunning.

Not only one of Antonioni's best work, it's possibly one of the greatest films ever made.

You got to be at least new or dumb to understand these kinds of movies. The Passenger is enjoyable on everyone who depend a transport and an airplane.
