Movie Reviews of Dealers
Movie Review: A nostalgic view at an urgent time.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is true that the Thatcher-era market stuff in this film is a bit over the top, but it is true also that sometimes an exaggerated picture is best to illustrate the ills of a concept like Fleet Street greed.
For my money the best two parts of the movie are that the character of Daniel Pascoe commutes to work in an airplane and that Rebecca DeMornay is in it. I admit to being an absolute ninny over anything with Rebecca DeMornay in it, from 'Risky Business' on up. In 'Dealers' she plays Ann, a very self-assured American in a somewhat alien world, a character with yet hidden vulnerabilities and potential to grow as a human being. Her arrogance and confidence are to the fore when Daniel refuses to drive her home from Surrey and she walks out. The next thing he hears is the sound of his own airplane taking off from his own pond.
Among the most romantic, even sexiest, stunts pulled by a male character in love is the scene in which Pascoe inflates helium balloons through the keyhole of Ann's flat so that when she comes home the whole place is mysteriously full of balloons. Between that and driving around in a classic 1963 Facel Vega, this character was all about what I wanted to be at that time-- even if the sound of those '80s phones makes me want to rip them out of the wall today.
Also the soundtrack is great. My VHS copy is a bit worn from overuse and I can barely read the credits, so I'm looking forward to acquiring the DVD so I can see it better... and keeping it for posterity.
