I tend to be a bit agnostic about Pakula, Jameson had the right idea on him, I find him as a filmmaker older than me who somehow understood political economy but somehow likened it to the anxieties of his generation. the value-form is narratively hard to pitch compared to a Parallax Corporation. but as a sheer image of the contradictory late-America?

Michelangelo Antonioni’s ‘Zabriskie Point’ is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.
A critique of america, the american dream and capitalism through the eyes of youth counterculture with stunning visuals and an amazing score that includes Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones.
It isn’t a film for everyone, but it’s a masterpiece.

We're a bisexual nation living in denial, all because of a bunch of nerds. totally ambitious exercise by an auteur. this movie saw all culture of the last twenty years more or less going insane, and ran with it. in all its schlocky needle drops and all. a lot of talk about this movie talks about "prescience" which I dislike much less than the idea that this movie is a scalpel into the heart of American paranoia much like a Philip K Dick novel if he understood Green Day. It's an incredibly difficult film to sit through all the way, partially because it feels at first glance incredibly Bush-era, but I don't think that makes it worse. Utterly relentless, but I think that's the point in what might be maddening. genuinely one of the most futuristic films ever made. You can watch it on Tubi RN!

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
