Zabriskie Point (1970) One Sheet Movie Poster

Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, the bizarre 1970 Michelangelo Antonioni 1960s California Death Valley teen anti-war counterculture hippie sexploitation melodrama starring Mark Frechette, Daria Halprin, Paul Fix, G.D. Spradlin, Bill Garaway, Kathleen Cleaver, Rod Taylor, and Harrison Ford (uncredited as an arrested student!). Note that Rod Taylor was a major star who had seen Antonioni's earlier movies and admired them, and Antonioni asked Taylor to appear in this movie with mostly complete unknowns, and Taylor at first refused, but Antonioni wore him down and he agreed to take the part! Also, note that the movie cost over 7 million dollars and took in only $900,000, and has been described as "the worst film ever made by a director of genius". However, there are some people who consider the film to be a masterpiece!
