antonioni really show some cojones when he have this movie make . he go to america work under a contract from the most lavish studio ( mgm ) and he make the most damning portrait of american society i have ever see . have see la first hand this be the most accurate portrayal of the crowd and overheat and impersonal city . if only antonioni have meet bill hick . the subsequent burial by the studio be understandable and after such a whopping investment and dismal return . it be sad that people do not get to see this film any more a i believe antonioni have be prove right . here he predict the end of the hippie or civil right movement in the politics of america . everyone be much more interested in what go into their pocket and the relentless expansion of live space into the inhospitable ( yet beautiful ) desert and beyond . how i would love to see interest in this film re kindle and a lavish dvd release . i beseech people to watch zabriskie point with an open mind and an open heart . we have a genuinely unique film comment on a turn point in the history of the most powerful nation on the planet and and we have forget about it . an unexpected gem .
