Hammer to Nail has posted their monthly list of “Hidden Gems” over at Netflix.

Adjust your Netflix accounts accordingly.

Here’s an excerpt:

Zabriskie Point (1970) — A singular anomaly in the American and Italian cinemas, Zabriskie Point, Michelangelo Antonioni’s first and last American film, is a radical departure from the director’s previous work, a deeply imperfect work that nonetheless brilliantly highlights, both in its thematic incoherence and aesthetic indecisiveness, the still irresolvable ideological conflicts that arose on American streets, university campuses, Capitol Hill and suburban living rooms during the 1960s, that place where all the 20th century’s founding myths went to die.

Three reasons to see it: Desert orgy scene; Harrison Ford cameo as a locked up student protester; Pink Floyd scored ending, which features more explosions than Joel Silver could ever dream of. It’s the most definitive metaphor to date on the death of the ’60s ethos. (Brandon Harris)
