Zabriskie Point (1970): review- 5.5/10

A self-indulgent film that succeeds in capturing much that was wrong with the 60s: brattihness, protests for protest's sake, smugness, slovenliness and selfishness.

The camera-work is often beautiful, and the film mantains its tension thoughout, despite being rather slow, and contains some memorable images.

Five Easy Pieces (1970): review- 7/10

Melancholy, inconclusive film about rejection of relationships; about antagonism, waste and anger.

Nicholsen performs brilliantly as a bad-tempered young man who has abandoned his vocation as a musician and instead does various blue-collar jobs, socialising with people of a much lower class. The film tells how he drives home with his girlfriend to visit his family, maltreating them all.
