In a story of youthful rebellion, a young man steals an airplane and flies over the desert, where he meets a young woman and falls in love. Mark Frechette, Daria Halprin, Rod Taylor, and Paul Fix star. Two young iconoclasts meet by chance in the Arizona desert, and escape together from the materialistic society they both so heartily despise. A sensitive tale of love and social alienation.
Legendary Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's first stateside film is a surreal examination of dissension and rebellion in American society. In particular, ZABRISKIE POINT explores the discord between rich and poor, as well as the distrust between the "establishment" and young, insurgent adults. By using special effects, documentary-style footage, and unusual camera angles, Antonioni succeeds in revealing how societal conflicts lead to anger--and violence. Director Michelangelo Antonioni's first American feature film.
Color by Metrocolor, shot in Panavision. Zabriskie Point Reviews: "...[A] gloriously designed, shot and scored time capsule about campus unrest..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "[I]t captures the American hippie movement precisely....Antonioni's formal sensibility is still groundbreaking."-- David Zuckerman, Film Comment "[I]n the ensuing decades, ZABRISKIE POINT's critical standing improved, as directors like Gus Van Sant and Bruno Dumont paid homage to the movie with their own challenging, existential films about empty souls roaming around deserts."-- Noel Murray, A.V. Club

Zabriskie Point Movie Review  one of the best 'anti-establishment' films of the 70's
Antonioni based this visually eclectic film on a small newspaper story he read while on a trip to Los Angeles about a kid who stole a private plane and the police over-reaction and subsequent tragic ending. The desert love scenes were the talk of college campuses. There is some incredible camera work with more than two dozen cameras covering the 'explosive' finale. Even less logical than his classic, "Blow-Up" but a visual romp. And one of the BEST soundtracks to come off a 70's film. (An odd twist -- the male lead committed a bank robbery a few years later and sadly died while in prison.)

Zabriskie Point film
 $11.89
This two-CD compilation, assembled from the Walker Brothers' three albums and various singles released by Philips between 1965 and 1967, gives a good overview of their U.K. history without limiting itself to their hits. The sound quality is good if not exceptional -- one gets the sense that another round of remastering would be in order (and while we're talking about sound, wouldn't one like to see a Mobile Fidelity reissue on the Walker Brothers or, for that matter, Scott Walker's best solo stuff?). And the track order isn't chronological -- their two best-known songs, which were not their first two U.K. singles -- occupy the opening two slots on disc one. So this set is lacking in some attributes that one would, ideally, like to se. On the other hand, all of the songs that one would like to see are here somewhere, and the annotation is thorough if not extensive. For anyone starting a collection of the classic Walker Brothers' material, this set -- which also carries the subtitle "My Ship Is Coming In" -- is a great place to start and finish, assuming that one doesn't wish to own everything that they did during ...

Zabriskie Point review
$16.39 
Christmas and the blues might seem at first like a strange combination, given that the music of the holiday season is usually joyful, hopeful, and bright, but no other time of the year is so good at showing you what you don't have, and what you can't get, and if you have the blues at Christmas, well, it's going to be a pretty heavy dose. This generous two-disc set from Document Records features 52 tracks of vintage African-American Christmas-themed blues and gospel pieces (with a couple of street sermons thrown in) recorded between 1925 and 1955, ranging from down-and-out laments and jailhouse moans to surprising (and occasionally risqué) requests for what Santa can bring down the chimney. Highlights on the first disc include the opening track, the joyous "Christ Was Born on Christmas Morn," recorded in 1925 by comedian and female impersonator Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon; Harry Crafton's "Bring That Cadillac Back" (a Cadillac might not be the best gift if your girlfriend likes to ramble) from 1947; Tampa Red's amazing, ringing slide guitar tone on "Christmas and New Year's Blues" from 1936; and the bizarre, disturbing field recording of "Junior's a Jap Girl's Christmas for His Santa Claus," sung by Willie Blackwell for Alan Lomax in Arkansas in 1942. Other high points include the charming "Christmas Boogie," ...

Russian master Aleksandr Sokurov (THE SUN, RUSSIAN ARK, MOTHER AND SON) has produced another majestic achievement with ALEXANDRA. In a rare instance of working from his own original script, Sokurov tells the simple tale of a woman in the twilight of her life who embarks on a special journey. As the story unfolds, Sokurov's deeper purpose is revealed, resulting in a work that speaks profoundly about the corrosive nature of war. Opera star Galina Vishnevskaya is Alexandra. She hasn't seen her grandson in seven years and, understanding that her life is coming to an end, she decides to visit him at his army camp in war-torn Chechnya. What at first is a beautiful reunion ...
