The Passenger is on an extended run (more details here) from January 4th at BFI Southbank as part of the Michelangelo Antonioni season at the cinema.
If you are interested in reading more about this fascinating movie, Martin Walsh's article in a 1975 issue of Jump Cut (which you can link to here) is highly recommended.
Chicago Reader review:
A masterpiece, one of Michelangelo Antonioni's finest works (1975). Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider star as a journalist who trades one identity for another and the woman who becomes his accomplice (and ultimately the moral center of his adopted world). Less a thriller (though the mood of mystery is pervasive) than a meditation on the problems of knowledge, action for its own sake, and the relationship of the artist to the work he brings into being. Next to this film, Blowup seems a facile, though necessary, preliminary. By all means go.
