MONDAY, 01/28/2013 — “ZABRISKIE POINT” (1970) — MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI SERIES —

Writer-director Michelangelo Antonioni’s vision of late – 1960s America is on full display in this tale that mixes romance and revolution as it explores the love affair between a pot-smoking secretary and a rebel seeking a cause. An Italian filmmaker’s take on American counterculture mythology, this visually stunning film remains an interesting artifact of the times.

*IMPORTANT*: Potluck – 5:45pm; Film – 6:45pm; Discussion after film!
