The Passenger

Michelangelo Antonioni directed the drama neo-noir art film The Passenger in 1975. The film is about an Anglo-American journalist, David Locke (Jack Nicholson), who assumes the identity of a dead businessman while working on a documentary in Chad, unaware that he is impersonating an arms dealer with ties to the rebels in the current civil war. It was written by Antonioni, Mark Peploe, and Peter Wollen.

While many of Nicholson's films have become classics, some of his best-loved flicks may still be waiting for their audience. The Passenger is an excellent example of one of his films that deserves to be seen. Nicholson plays a war journalist who is fed up with not being able to find a story to write about. He takes a chance by impersonating a deceased arms dealer and is progressively drawn into this new society. In the gripping and suspenseful drama wonderfully filmed by Michelangelo Antonioni, Nicholson provides another outstanding performance.
