Weird film from Antonioni set in the late 1960s counterculture.The first half of the film has the vibe of a documentary about the strikes and riots in L.A for the civil rights and against the Vietnam war, and the second half feels more like a road trip with amazing images of Zabriskie Point on the Death Valley.
It was a commercial failure and critics labeled it as a boring and empty movie. I have to admit is not the best thing Antonioni has made, but it's interesting to watch it because of its photography (totally stunning), the soundtrack, and this scene, which is one of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed... like a surrealist painting in motion:
