Zabriskie Point
“How you get there depends on where you're at.”
Drama
Anthropology student Daria, who's helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert, and dropout Mark, who's wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot, accidentally encounter each other in Death Valley and soon begin an unrestrained romance.
VIBE
A hazy, sun-drenched drift through the desert, this film feels like a fever dream of the counter-culture. It's a languid, visually arresting exploration of freedom and disillusionment, set against a backdrop of vast, indifferent landscapes.
