Editor's Note
Legendary Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's first stateside film is a surreal examination of dissension and rebellion in American society.

By using special effects, documentary-style footage, and unusual camera angles, Antonioni succeeds in revealing how societal conflicts lead to anger--and violence.
