Zabriskie Point


 Zabriskie Point - Michelangelo Antonioni (1970)

This is my favourite film ending of all time.

An imagined explosion to symbolize the end of Capitalism is repeated from a number of angles before giving way to a sublime slow motion sequence showing various consumer goods imploding to the sound of Pink Floyd.

Some of the explosion elements were later reused by Ridley Scott in Bladerunner.
