Zabriskie Point

(USA/1970) by Michelangelo Antonioni (112’)
Tuesday, May 14th 2025 – 5.45 p.m.
Introduced by Professor Andrea Luccaroni

Zabriskie Point, in the USA, represents the site of the greatest geological depression. It is precisely here that Michelangelo Antonioni sets the manifesto of a utopian defeat of consumer society, intertwining the destinies of Mark and Daria, representatives of a generation fleeing repression, control, capitalism, and conformity. The desire to break free from all imposed structure which serve as instruments of oppression, drives the search for the degree zero of freedom, embodied by the desert, an endless, barrier-free expanse (a theme shared with contemporaneous manifesto-projects like those of Superstudio and ArchiZoom). And if escape proves insufficient, it becomes necessary to at least destroy its symbols
