George Lucas’ most subversive film, I think. And maybe his most interesting, along with American Graffiti (another film I need to rewatch).
Well done low budget dystopian film that still resonates today. I wish Star Wars was more unsettling and dystopian like this, but then it wouldn’t be Star Wars, and I low-key do enjoy the coziness and predictability of Star Wars.
But then again, Star Wars doesn’t have Donald Pleasence and Sid Haig.
Brutal and exquisite experimental film. I was introduced to this work back in art school, and was totally blown away.
I was talking with a colleague about “The Entity” recently and then remembered this movie. It works great on its own, but has a deeper level of significance if you’ve seen the source film and know the story.
Totally inspiring.
In the first 30 minutes of this film you see LT snort coke in front of an elementary school after dropping off his sons, smoke meth while doing a drug deal, and free base heroin before crying naked with two sex workers.
But, what grounds this film’s sleazy character is Harvey Keitel’s amazing, nuanced performance. Behind his debauchery and criminal activities, you can sense his intense self-hatred and inner turmoil.
Such an incredible film. A slow burn, but so so worth it.
Oh man, what to say about this movie?! Whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit it’s a unique cinematic experience.
I saw this movie with a friend in a packed theater, full of Lynch fans. Everyone gave it their full attention and reverence, and there were a lot of great moments that made the whole audience laugh. I’ve only ever seen this film on DVD and I don’t ever remember laughing at any part of it.…
