Michelangelo Antonionis most visionary work is a massively expensive, impressionistic view of late 1960s American materialism. Zabriskie Point is a 1969 film that depicts some aspects of the U.S. counterculture movement. It tells the story of a young couple — an idealistic, free spirited young woman, and an aspiring radical turned fugitive. They meet in the desert under bizarre circumstances, instantly connect with a fearless spirit, and then part with tragic consequences.
