Zabriskie Point /zəˈbrɪskiː/ is a 1970 American drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, widely noted at the time for its setting in the counterculture of the United States in the late 1960s. Some of the film's scenes were shot on location at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley.
It was the second of three English-language films that Antonioni had been contracted to direct for producer Carlo Ponti and to be distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The other two were Blowup (1966) and The Passenger (1975).
Zabriskie Point was an overwhelming commercial failure and panned by most critics upon release. It has, however, achieved somewhat of a cult status and is noted for its cinematography, use of music, and direction.
The film opens with a documentary-like scene in which white and black students argue about an impending student strike. Mark (Mark Frechette) leaves the meeting after saying he is "willing to die, but not of boredom" for the cause, which draws criticism from the young white radicals. Following a mass arrest at the campus protest, Mark visits a police station hoping to bail his roommate out of jail. He is told to wait but goes to the lock-up area, asks further about bail for his roommate, is rebuffed, calls out to the arrested students and faculty and is arrested. He gives his name as Karl Marx, which a duty officer types as "Carl Marx". After he is released from jail, Mark and another friend buy firearms from a Los Angeles gun shop, saying they need them for "self-defense" to "protect our women."
Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece: Great score by Pink Floyd, etc.
Zabriskie Point è un film del 1970, classico della contestazione studentesca, diretto dal regista Michelangelo Antonioni. È stato il secondo di tre lungometraggi girati da Antonioni in lingua inglese e con attori protagonisti stranieri per il produttore Carlo Ponti. Gli altri due furono Blow-Up (1966) e Professione: reporter (The Passenger, 1975). Per questo film il ruolo dei due protagonisti fu affidato a due esordienti non professionisti: Mark Frechette e Daria Halprin. In un campus universitario di Los Angeles è in corso un'assemblea di studenti che stanno discutendo sulle azioni di lotta da intraprendere. Mark partecipa per la prima volta all'assemblea e non ne sembra molto contento. Improvvisamente chiede la parola e prendendo spunto da un intervento precedente si fa beffe del consess...

Το ψυχεδελικό έπος του Μικελάντζελο Αντονιόνι (ή: πώς ένας ιταλός "πατάει" τους αμερικανούς στο γήπεδό τους). Μια χίππικη ερωτική ιστορία στην ψυχροπολεμική Αμερική των '60s, η οποία βράζει από την σοφή οργή των χαρισματικών παιδιών της. Τότε που ο έρωτας ήταν κατάσταση τού νου (και όχι περιστασιακό συναίσθημα), διαμορφωτής τής αντίληψης και "Σύνταγμα" ενός υγιέστερου κόσμου. Αδιανόητο για τα σημερινά δεδομένα χίππικο φλερτ, όταν για να πλησιάσεις κάποιον που σου άρεσε, αρκούσε να είσαι ο εαυτός σου (για όσους φυσικά έχουν κατορθώσει να διαθέτουν κάτι τέτοιο) και όχι η αλλοτριωμένη καρικατούρα σου, οι συμβάσεις σου, το πορτοφόλι σου, η δουλειά σου, ο επιδειξισμός σου, το τατουάζ σου, οι καλοκρυμμένες φοβίες σου, τα ανομολόγητα συμπλέγματά σου, τα ετοιματζίδικα "όνειρά" σου, οι μίζεροι μι...
