Zabriskie Point is wild

Most of Zabriskie Point is shot with 70s-style telephoto zoom lens, just pointing the camera at whoever is speaking. Nothing spectacular.

Then the movie goes out to the desert and this shot really made me lean forward and pay attention.

The airplane appears in the background while Daria fixes her car. Closing the hood reveals the airplane again. It even appears in the thin slit of sky between the door and roof! That’s so hard to do!

Speaking of precisely positioning the airplane, here’s a terrifying stunt. Respect to the stunt performers!

 

That’s no stunt performer! They put the lead actress in that car and aimed an airplane at her.

Later they cut to a close-up to emphasize a line of dialog, but the camera is on the wrong side! I never know what to expect with this movie.
