Title:
Zabriskie Point
Synopsis:
Cult drama from Italian writer-director Michelangelo Antonioni about young activists in America in the late 1960s. Rebel Mark (Mark Frechette) meets hippy secretary Daria (Daria Halprin) in the Los Angeles desert where she is working for property developer Lee Allen (Rod Taylor). Mark and Daria soon fall for one another but the anarchist tendencies of Mark, who is wanted by the police, make it difficult for their love to survive. The soundtrack includes music from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Jerry Garcia.. Appearing uncredited: Harrison Ford (his scenes, except for one brief appearance, were cut from the film); Philip Baker Hall
In real life, Mark Frechette led a counterculture life much like his character’s in the film. Three years after the release of Zabriskie Point (1970) he was imprisoned for his part in a bank hold-up in Boston. He died in prison in 1975 during a weightlifting exercise when a barbell fell on his neck.
Michelangelo Antonioni’s assistant and casting director, Sally Dennison, first spotted Mark Frechette having an argument with a woman at a bus stop in Los Angeles. Frechette was not an actor but a carpenter at the time so when Dennison brought him to Antonioni’s attention, she told him ”He’s twenty and he hates”. Antonioni cast him on the spot.
