Nothing is more unpleasant when adults behave like children in the movie. When it gets madly greasy, both romp through a park and feed the swans and giggle all the time. Michelangelo Antonioni has expressed his deep insights into how cultivated boredom sucks every life out of man in a series of masterpieces from the 50s and early 60s. Then he accidentally became world famous as a pop art icon. For Zabriskie Point he finally went to Hollywood. Antonioni had found his style. He staged movies of great emptiness, which probably nobody understood completely. They were movies from the upper middle class. Now he felt obliged to make a film about the hippie era. A victim of the late 60's which made so many great authors into "engaged" filmmakers. But Antonioni is not an activist and his talent is not to pick up political topics. Antonioni's figures always seemed so incredibly blocked - paralyzed. But in Zabriskie Point they raise their voices - and sound empty. The actors do not act together. They have narcissistic self-talks. The hero from Zabriskie Point makes a radical impromptu speech (without any motivation) and then decides to intervene personally (without any motivation). Maybe he killed a policeman (but we know what a murder of Antonioni can be like). He steals a plane, flees into the desert and picks up a beautiful girl. He circles her a few times, then both run into the dunes and love each other. In the lowest point of the USA, in Zabriskie Point (note the symbolic content). The sex scenes seem to have been copied from other movies, without any real feeling or even joie de vivre. We simply watch as a couple of lovers roll around in the sand. A ridiculously long sequence. What's the next step? Our hero paints his plane with psychedelic colors. He flies back to Los Angeles and is murdered by policemen. It's not easy to follow Zabriskie Point, but the film is basically that simple. Besides, Antonioni shows how corrupt and corrupt America is (to be noticed by public attacks). It remains to be seen that Antonioni has no feeling for how young people are. In his Italian films, he showed us adults. In Zabriskie Points we see kids rolling up and down the sand dunes.
