Really great little movie. Amazing performance from Mr Elliot. 1976 Anne Archer was hotter than the sun.
love this
I love good representation of perverse women. And how well Christine does it. And how naturally this role suits Isabelle. The plot is pleasant, as is the framing. It's very, very good. The characters simultaneously convey disgust and pity for how things turned out in their lives.
i just never know what to write about this because it's perfect.
so many years ago when i already had a bootleg i went to a midnight screening of what was advertised as one of the only known complete prints of it, full of scratches but still what an amazing moment in time. to have been there. after the fact/post sarah jacobson grand royal & documentary but still way before the stains even really got their FIRST life. along with the…
Based on the Philip Roth novel, it's a late 60's comedy drama about the romance between a young Jewish couple. In their debut roles, Ali MacGraw plays a college girl from a middle class family, while Richard Benjamin drifts through life as a librarian, creating tension with her well-off family. He's not a planner. He's a liver. Funny, sweet, and very much of its time. If you like The Graduate, or The Heartbreak Kid, you'll most likely like this too. Strange how stuff this good ends up so obscure.
French Mom Revenge thriller, this shit rules. Gearhead momma going after the crew that killed her daughter. Destructive car chases, biker bad boys, bad guys with a bazooka, grimy synth score... thanks Fun City!
Stand by Me in the old west. Shot by Gordon Willis. Exquisite.
This movie starts as a fascinating anthropological dive into 1980s LA but then evolves into something intricate and personal. At first it's light on its feet, with the same kind of intermingling romances you'd see in Alan Rudolph's Choose Me. But the narrative eventually centers on the two main best friends in way that felt genuinely unexpected. There's a viable tension between them that crosses into sexuality more than once. Because this is from 1984 and isn't explicitly labeled a…
A very chill movie that digs deep into getting older with your best friend as you dance in and out of each others sex lives. You know, normal shit.
Great vibes in this. Well shot and a killer Tangerine Dream soundtrack.
