Zabriskie Point

At a nameless California campus, director Michelangelo Antonioni drifts through a meeting of radicals, some emphasis on the score largely composed and performed by Pink Floyd, no particular story emerging, opening Zabriskie Point, 1970, camera by Tonino Guerra, and Sam Shepard among the screenwriters.

Protagonist “Mark” Frechette, after friends were arrested at a campus uprising, visits an L-A gun shop, then director Michelangelo Antonioni visits an agency producing plenty weird ads, then G.D. Spradlin and a fellow professional discuss the news, in the deliberately disjointed Zabriskie Point, 1970.

The internationally acclaimed Italian art movie director Michelangelo Antonioni introduces three of his principals in his irresolute political portrait of Los Angeles “Daria” Halprin who lost a book, Rod Taylor who has a real job, and “Mark” Frechette who drives a truck, early in Zabriskie Point, 1970.
