60 of 90 · most liked firstJack Nicholson's favourite from his own movies, Michael Antonioni's 1975 film The Passenger is an existential masterpiece. A journalist switches identities with an arms dealer in this astonishing film; the stunning penultimate shot is seven minutes long. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/09/03/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →THE PASSENGER (1975) was one of JACK NICHOLSON’s favourite of his own films. So much so he acquired the rights to the film from MGM in compensation for a film project that fell through, and was the principal figure behind the film getting a DVD release. #MichelangeloAntonioni

neutral · AI labelView post →If you enjoyed Emeric Pressburger's THE GLASS PEARLS, Sally Carson's CROKED CROSS or Anna Seghers' TRANSIT, chances are you'll like THE PASSENGER. It would make a great film, very much in the vein of classic Hitchcock thrillers such as THE LADY VANISHES, NOTORIOUS & THE 39 STEPS! #BookSky #FilmSky

Nicholson stars as a corrupt guard on Texas/Mexican border, who decides to try & go straight when he discovers a racket selling immigrant’s babies

Blumhouse tier exploding ghosts slop. Has a few decent scenes. Spoilers in my excessive thread for a shit movie no one will remember

There was also Valak from The Nun, and Baghuul from Sinister, and you can probably count… whatever her name was in Lights Out. And just earlier this year, there was the Passenger from the movie of the same name.

I watched the whole thing thinking “Okay, it’s getting to the part where everything gets explained and then we get to go OOOOHHHH it all makes sense now!” But, no. It just ENDED with all these wide open hanging plot holes. Sigh.
