Which 1970 film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni is also known as Zabriskie Point?

Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 film is titled Zabriskie Point.

Zabriskie Point is an Italian-American drama directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. The film follows young people in the United States during a period marked by student protest, counterculture, and political tension. Its title comes from Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, California, a landscape that provides one of the film’s most recognizable settings.

The movie is associated with Antonioni’s international period after films such as Blowup. It was filmed in the United States and features music connected with contemporary rock artists, including Pink Floyd. The film’s reception was mixed, but its desert imagery and visual style have remained influential.

Zabriskie Point is sometimes confused with Antonioni’s later film The Passenger, which stars Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider. The two films share the director but have different stories, casts, and settings. The title is also unrelated to Pandora’s myth; it is a geographic name taken from California’s Death Valley.
