Movie Review: Dazzling Film Making Here
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film for the first time in 1984, and now following 15 to 20 viewings, I'm still astounded by the integral cinematic elements, which makes it quite the sleeping beauty that it truly is. Director Alan Rudolph wrote the screenplay, creating unique yet robust characters, whose interplay is as illustrious as a fine tuned baby grand. Lesley Ann Warren's "Eve" is absolutely scintillating as a vulnerable woman who succeeds in capturing everything she wants without genuine fulfillment. Genevieve Bujold issues a brilliant multi-faceted performance as both "Nancy" and "Ann". She plays a radio psychologist who counsels love's bewildered souls, while hiding beneath the conflict of her own. Carradine is superb and uncanny with his ability to portray someone who is provocatively disturbed yet intrinsically sincere. Not one of the aforementioned three possesses the ability to balance the scales of love. This film will forever glisten in my Top Ten as it leaves me forever quivering for more equivocal chaos.Movie Review: If I were to make a move, this would be it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favorites, along with Nashville, Exotica, and Kieslowski's Blue. My ultimate romantic movie, in a beautiful but sordid way. R.D. Chong is wooden, but doesn't detract from the movie. The biblical allusions escaped me at first (Eve's bar, Adams street, ultimate redemption ...), but this is a heartfelt paean to true, less-than-sane, love. Is Mickey, the male protagonist, crazy? Does it matter? I saw this at least 6 times the year it opened at a small art-house theater, and I watch it time and time again without tiring of it's hopeless, dreamlike, romanticism. Mickey is a man, wandered off from an insane asylum, searching for a lasting taste of a past love that he can't recapture or redeem. He is willing to be a partner for each of three beautiful but flawed women--but who is willing to take a chance on him? Beautiful.Movie Review: A Quirky Ode To Sexual Liberation (And Romance!)
Summary: 5 Stars
'Choose Me' is an odd little movie, set in a stylized (and stylish), totally libidinous after hours kind of twilight, even though some scenes take place in the day. The onscreen music is after hours jazz, and the soundtrack underneath uses songs of Teddy Pendergrass in sometimes shockingly effective, nearly subliminal ways. The complex plot, which I leave to others to describe, deals with the curious interface between love and lust in a witty, ironic way. Keith Carradine is compelling as the mysterious stranger who is all things to all the women in the film. Bujold does a nearly dual role as radio talk show host Nancy Love and her daytime alter ego, Ann. It's a lot of fun, as well as something to give you pause as you pursue your desires.Movie Review: Choose Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this film when it came out and it is still very good. Alan Rudolph is a filmmaker who make small idiosyncratic films with a bit a humor. The stories are slight and there is usually no solid ending. They are fantasies that kind of fly away. In this film, a man who may have been a soldier or spy for the US, comes into a bar looking for the bar's namesake, Eve. Lots of things happen. Lesley Ann Warren is Eve who attracts men like flies, Genevieve Bujou as a talk show radio "psychologist" who lives with people to do "research" but has a troubled psyche herself, and Keith Carradine as the wayward man who has affairs with both women. Really fun with good amusing scenes.Movie Review: One of my favorite icons of the eighties!
Summary: 5 Stars
A no mainstream entertainment with interesting and fine dialogues gives as result a fascinating portrait of those eighties. Atmospheric drama around the banality, frivolity and naïve domain of the life 's theory in this captivating story around a classic triangle affair.
All the cast was splendid: From the disturbed Genevieve Bujold, the easy going life of Leslie Ann Warren and the mysterious and elusive male character played by Keith Carradine.
I must acknowledge that Alan Rudolph made me think he would climb the highest peaks after The Moderns, but evidently, something happened on the road.
