Editorial Review:
Russia released, NTSC (USA and Canada), ALL REGION, FULL SCREEN. AUDIO OPTIONS: Dolby Digital 2.0 ENGLISH (movie is completely in English) and Dolby Digital 2.0 RUSSIAN (voice-over). Original Russian artwork.............................................................. SYNOPSIS: Zabriskie Point, director Michelangelo Antonioni's only American film, is an unusual, visually stunning examination of youthful rebellion against the Establishment. The film, initially presented in quasi-documentary style, presents a group of college activists discussing key issues of their political agenda. Mark (Mark Frechette) steals an airplane and flies over a desert where he meets Daria (Daria Halprin). She is the pot-smoking secretary to businessman Lee Allen (Rod Taylor), while he is a rebel searching for a worthy cause. In the midst of the arid surroundings, Mark and Daria fall in love. Antonioni's nonrealistic approach to American counterculture myths, his loose and sluggish narrative, and the dialogue (credited to Fred Gardner, Sam Shepard, Tonino Guerra, Clare Peploe, and Antonioni) caused Zabriskie Point to be poorly received when it was first released. The score features songs from Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Kaleidoscope, The Rolling Stones, John Fahey, The Youngbloods and Patti Page.

I was nervous when it arrived because the dvd package was in Russian. But it's an English speaking movie. My man's favorite and it was new to me. Good film, awesome soundrack!
Rating:  - ANTONIONI AT HIS MOST PRETENTIOUS
Give an European art film director too much money (as Hollywood always does) and this is what you can expect. The photography (despite the laughably unending house explosion at the finale) and the music aside (buy the album instead of the movie), the most memorable dialogue spoken by the catatonic actors as they sit in the sand and comment on the desert, She: "It's beautiful." He: "It's dead." So's the movie.
Rating: - only for musical completists
"Zabriskie Point" is a 60's art film. For starters, the film doesn't have much of a plot. Essentially, two young people briefly hook-up while out in the desert. Mark and Dara make their way to Zabriskie Point, which is actually a popular vista in Death Valley National Park. In film lore, it's the same place where Obi-Wan Kenobi said to Luke Skywalker, "Mos Eisley Spaceport . . . You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." I suppose that advice could easily ... Read More
Rating:  - MISUNDERSTOOD.
Yes I think its a great film. From the wooden acting of the leads to the Pink Floyd extravaganza at its finale, Zabriskie Point never fails to astound with its incomparable visuals and mastery. Mr Antonioni bravely flings himself on the minefeild of the sixties in America and the results are unlike anything else. Sure to confound most everyone expecting a trite fable, what one receives instead is a blisteringly funny and beautiful comment on a culture too obsessed with consumerism and "success" to ...

Rating:  - A glorious failure
I am well aware that ZABRISKIE POINT is often cited as one of the worst movies ever made, but I could not agree less. Although the two lead actors are at best wooden, and the story highly improbable and maybe even baffling, I found myself completely mesmerized in spite of this.
Visually it is a stunner and the contemporary music lends
a foundation to the film that gives it a certain validation. I think the movie captures the spirit of revolution that permeated the so-called 60s and it ... Read More
