Goofs

When Mark is buzzing Daria with the airplane, she at one point scrawls out some writing in the sand by the side of the road. Judging by the light and long shadows, it appears to be in late afternoon. Then we see Mark drop Daria something from the plane, which she runs to pick up. But now the light - and much shorter shadows - indicate that it is much earlier than the late afternoon of the previous shot. See more »

Quotes

Daria: Hey, guy, you want a smoke?
Mark: You know, you're taking to a guy under discipline.
Daria: What's that?
Mark: This group I was in had rules against smoking. They were into a reality trip.
Daria: What a drag!

This film could never succeed, critically or with a popular audience--a great shame.
12 October 1999 | by (New Zealand) – See all my reviews

The movie presents a view of the United States that only a foreigner could have. Sadly, foreigners can't relate to it and persons from the United States cannot believe it. The movie is, therefore, caught in limbo without an audience. Reviews of the film tend to reflect this.

I have lived away from the US for 30 years and can now pretend to be able to understand what Antonioni was wanting to achieve. My view is that he has excelled. The film is a stunning indictment of the United States and, tragically, I see no remediation in the 29 years since it was first released.
