The post Warren Beatty – Reds (1981) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
A Palestinian bomber has killed an Israeli diplomat and his family and the Israeli plot to neutralise him becomes convoluted as they select an American Actress (Charlie) to impersonate the Bomber’s brother’s girlfriend after the Israeli’s capture and kill the brother. Charlie is placed into a world where she begins being an actress, then becomes a spy, then is trained by the Palestinians as a guerrilla and finally is sent to deliver a bomb. She is chronically confused by how far she is really supposed to go in her impersonations and how much of herself she must give up.

The post George Roy Hill – The Little Drummer Girl (1984) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

synopsis
Theresa (Diane Keaton) is a dedicated school-teacher of deaf children during the day. Once she moves out of her parents’ place, she chooses to spend her evenings seeing adult films, cruising bars, and looking for abusive men with whom she can engage in ever more violent sexual encounters. She furthers her self-destruction by a rather aimless intake of drugs and alcohol, leading to both demeaning and dangerous situations, completely at odds with her daytime commitments. In need of a father figure, she makes herself available to numerous men and eventually pays a price for her hedonistic behaviour.

about the film
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Judith Rossner, the sexual themes sparked a public controversy when the film was first released, and the film contains one of the most memorable endings in cinema history. This cast includes Diane Keaton, Tuesday Weld, Richard Gere, Tom Berenger and William Atherton. (And yes, that is Brian Dennehy – making his screen debut – about to kiss Diane Keaton’s nipple in the screenshot below.)

trivia
– Mike Nichols, Sydney Pollack and Roman Polanski all turned down the opportunity to direct the film.
– screen debut of Brian Dennehy (and also introducing for the first time in major roles Richard Gere, Tom Berenger and LeVar Burton).
– Diane Keaton won Best Actress Oscar for the other film she starred in this year (“Annie Hall”).
– The events in the book and the film were inspired by the brutal real-life murder in 1973 of 27-yr-old New York City schoolteacher Roseann Quinn.
– The film has never been released on DVD, and is not available on the home video market (probably due to music licensing, and the fact that Donna Summer’s estate (once she caught Christianity) won’t allow her songs to be used in this film anymore). It did have a VHS and LD release, and these are now collectors’ items.

Quote:
Alvy Singer, a forty year old twice divorced, neurotic, intellectual Jewish New York stand-up comic, reflects on the demise of his latest relationship, to Annie Hall, an insecure, flighty, Midwestern WASP aspiring nightclub singer. Unlike his previous relationships, Alvy believed he may have worked out all the issues in his life through fifteen years of therapy to make this relationship with Annie last, among those issues being not wanting to date any woman that would want to date him, and thus subconsciously pushing those women away. Alvy not only reviews the many ups and many downs of their relationship, but also reviews the many facets of his makeup that led to him starting to date Annie. Those facets include growing up next to Coney Island in Brooklyn, being attracted to the opposite sex for as long as he can remember, and enduring years of Jewish guilt with his constantly arguing parents.

The post Woody Allen – Annie Hall (1977) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
In Russia, Boris Grushenko is in love with his pseudo-intellectual cousin Sonja, who loves him since he too is a pseudo-intellectual, but she is not in love with him. Instead she is in love with his brother Ivan. But as Ivan doesn’t seem to return her affections, she is determined to marry someone – anyone – except Boris. If that person isn’t the perfect husband, then she has to find a suitable lover in addition. Boris’ pursuit of Sonja has to take a back seat in his life when he, a pacifist and coward, is forced to join the Russian Army to battle Napoleon’s forces which have just invaded Austria. Despite Sonja not being in the picture while he’s away at war, Boris’ thoughts do not stray totally from women. Although they take these two divergent paths in their lives, those paths cross once again as they, together, both try to find the perfect spouse and lover, and try to assassinate Napoleon.

The post Woody Allen – Love And Death (1975) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
All George Dunlap (Albert Finney) wants to do is to give his 13-year-old daughter a typewriter for her birthday. It is hardly the impossible dream; it isn’t even an unreasonable request. But George recently walked out on his wife Faith (Diane Keaton) and their four daughters, for all those vague but somehow imperative reasons for which people leave people these days, and Daughter Sherry (Dana Hill) is not buying any of them. Nor is she covering her confusion with forgiveness. Better just not to speak to the creep. When Faith tries to avoid a scene by keeping George out of their handsome old Marin County house, George breaks in and pounds up the stairs to confront his eldest. She fights off his blend of bewildered love and rage. He spanks her. She threatens him with a scissors. They end in a sodden tangle of bodies and emotions on her bed.

By this time the whole house is in an uproar, but as George staggers back down the stairs, a little voice rises above the others and, trying to control its hysteria, makes the sweet, placatory offer that has never been refused before: “Daddy, can I make you a hamburger with onions?” Up to this point the scene has been fine, a well-made representation of the craziness that is bound to burst forth in even the most civilized of separations. But that one line confirms a thought that has been building from the beginning of Shoot the Moon, namely that something rather special is at hand: a movie that attends the way real people respond to the realities of ordinary life.

Throughout, the moviemakers observe all kinds of quotidian events in the sundering of the Dunlaps without turning them into heavily fraught symbolic moments: the children clamoring for eye shadow as their mother tries to put on makeup for a party; the nervous chipperness of George’s lady friend (Karen Allen) when she meets the children for the first time; and their attempt to give her a fair chance without being disloyal to their mother; George self-consciously trying to be brave in front of them and not being able to keep the self-pity out of it; the puzzling way nostalgia has of flaring up as quickly as anger in the confrontation between former mates.

Concentration on the telling detail is a way good writers have of avoiding both melodrama and sentimentality, which blanched the hard truth of Kramer vs. Kramer. As he proved in Melvin and Howard, Bo Goldman is a very good writer, a man whose world appears to be filled with mild eccentrics and funny overheard remarks that he gets down just right in his mental notebook. His specificity seems to have disciplined Alan Parker, who in the past has liked to stress the ugly metaphorical overtones in his material (in Midnight Express he kept insisting that the whole world is a Turkish prison, when really only Turkish prisons are Turkish prisons). Except for reaching for too big a finish, a fight between George and the man who has taken his place in Faith’s life that is too brutal for what has gone before, Parker controls himself here.

Finney’s fuzziness, that slightly out-of-focus quality he often has onscreen, here serves his befuddled character perfectly. Keaton has the courage to let tiredness show in the lines around her mouth and eyes, to stipulate that she is the victim in this situation and then get on to other more interesting situations. Nobody ever tries to explain why the nice, successful Dunlaps are breaking up. These days, who knows? All anyone can say with certainty is that theirs is now among the most familiar of passages, and that Shoot the Moon is the best chart of it the movies have yet drawn.–Richard Schickel, Time Magazine, 02-01-82
