An epic portrait of late Sixties America, as seen through the portrayal of two of its children: anthropology student Daria (who's helping a property developer build a village in the Los Angeles desert) and dropout Mark (who's wanted by the authorities for allegedly killing a policeman during a student riot).
With a visual audacity and a literally explosive climax, it’s at once a fascinating time capsule of late-’60s flower power and a key step in the migration of European arthouse ideas to ’70s Hollywood.
A maligned masterpiece.
