I’m watching this because it’s on the list.
Oh, Paul Mazursky… I feel like I used to see his name all the time, but haven’t seen it mentioned at all for decades.
Oh, right… I have seen a lot of these movies, but not his 70s films.
Ah, rural Brooklyn…
The promised land…
The promised beret.
The lighting on this is pretty odd. Usually just a single lamp, so you get a lot of hard shadows. So it’s not natural lighting, either. Could they only afford a single lamp?
It fun to watch a movie made in the 70s that’s so nostalgic for the 50s. (The cool bits of the 50s, i.e. New York, mind you.)
Hey!
I’m going alternatively “wow, this is really good” and “wow, this is really cheesy”. Like every other scene or something.
The performances are good, and I like the look of the movie. The plot has a few surprises, but is pretty much what you’d expect. It’s a nice movie.
Next Stop, Greenwich Village. Paul Mazursky. 1976. ⚃
