 Rating:  - Intoxicatingly Ethereal CountercultureThis is a very intriguing film and rather euphoric in its approach from director Michelangelo Antonioni. It is a quixotically coherent effort from director Antonioni and the story works on several levels making it stand apart from other films in this era. The actors give titillating performances. It is so interesting to see Rod Taylor show up in this film. Rating: - A film awaiting rediscovery....When this film was made, it was mercilessly ripped apart by the critics, and it majorly bombed at the box office. Antonioni didn't direct a feature film until 5 years later (the film was The Passenger). Is this film as bad as it was purported to be? Absolutely not.

If of Lindsay Anderson, The Young Torless of Wolker Scholondorff, The Strawberry statement (the weakest of the set), Easy Rider of Dennis Hopper, Carnal knowledge of Mike Nichols, and obvious this one, may be the most pyramidal of the set. Michelangelo Antonioni, the great master of the silences, profited by the huge cry of inconformity ... Read More Rating: - Zabriskie PointZabriskie Point by Antonioni is not a film but an experience, a voyage into the subconscious of America, an apocalyptic portrait of an apocalyptic youth. Using a tone that emphatizes every movement, as if the director were completely alienated by what he is filming (much like Fellini when he made 'Satyricon', in his own words he shot Antique Rome as if he were 'making a documentary on martians') Antonioni made with 'Zabriskie Point', along with Bertolucci's ' The Dreamers' ...
