Desert Trips

The vast, arid landscapes of the American Southwest become hallucinatory expanses of existential reckoning in these sun-blasted journeys into a harsh, unforgiving no-man’s land. From the counterculture disillusionment of Michelangelo Antonioni’s ZABRISKIE POINT to the aching desolation of Wim Wenders’s PARIS, TEXAS to the feverish romanticism of David Lynch’s WILD AT HEART, these films turn scorched highways and otherworldly terrain into unforgettable projections of their characters’ inner worlds.
