It’s a Zabriskie, Zabriskie, Zabriskie, Zabriskie Point

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Worlds collide in this unconventional essay film, when filmmaker, film historian, and archivist Daniel Kremer seamlessly edits Michelangelo Antonioni’s legendary but controversial counterculture art film Zabriskie Point (1970) into the same narrative universe as Stanley Kramer’s madcap epic comedy extravaganza It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963). In creating these new sequences, Kremer comes to recognize that the exercise effortlessly draws cultural and historical parallels in twentieth-century American life that echo in present-day America. The editorial mashups weave a tangled web of social and cinematic history that root our notions of Americana in the mythology of the desert. As Kremer expounds in his narration on these often astonishing and sometimes shocking associations, his very personal ties to the subject matter become manifest.
