Quote:
Two icons of 60s cinema, Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda, go head-to-head in Steven Soderbergh’s stylish reworking of the lone avenger theme. Stamp plays Wilson, an ageing Cockney villain newly out of jail, who arrives in Los Angeles to ask some awkward questions. His beloved daughter, mistress of powerful rock promoter Terry Valentine (Fonda), has died in a car crash; but Wilson’s far from convinced it was an accident. With his gaunt, grim features and sparse white hair, Stamp’s a dead ringer for the angel of death. Or maybe, as Soderbergh hints with some intricate flashback and flash-forward cutting, the whole story is a dying man’s dream of vengeance. Echoes of Get Carter and Point Blank aren’t far to seek. Though it’s tense, gripping and often funny–Wilson’s rhyming-slang dialogue bemuses every American he meets–The Limey is shot through with an aching sense of loss and wasted years. The final showdown between Wilson and Valentine feels like the epitaph of an era once rich in dreams. Some of the film’s most poignant moments are its “flashbacks” to Wilson’s younger days, which are actually clips from Ken Loach’s 1967 movie Poor Cow, featuring the twentysomething Stamp, insolently and heart-breakingly beautiful.

The post James B. Harris – Cop (1988) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

synopsis – AMG:
The lives of five L.A. natives intertwine in this romantic comedy from independent filmmaker and former Robert Altman protégé Alan Rudolph. Eve (Lesley Ann Warren) is a bar owner who has sworn off permanent commitments, seeking only the temporary sexual satisfaction of men. Her roommate Ann (Genevieve Bujold) is her polar opposite. In reality, Ann is secretly the radio sex therapist Dr. Nancy Love, but she has little romantic experience despite her profession. Into their lives comes Mickey (Keith Carradine), a recent mental patient who might be an enigmatic pathological liar. Though she’s powerfully attracted to Mickey, Eve’s kept at arm’s length by her lover Zack (Patrick Bauchau), a married man whose wife (Rae Dawn Chong) also finds Mickey irresistible. When Nancy sleeps with Mickey, he proposes marriage, but she rejects him, though the assignation does have a positive effect on her radio show. Considered Rudolph’s seminal work, Choose Me (1984) was the third in a thematically-linked trilogy from the quirky low-budget director, the first two being Welcome to L.A. (1977) and Remember My Name (1978).

review – AMG:
Considered by most critics to be Robert Altman protégé Alan Rudolph’s best film — at least until the celebrated Afterglow 13 years later — Choose Me is nonetheless probably a hard pill to swallow for mainstream audiences unused to the director’s idiosyncrasies. Those willing to embrace Rudolph’s unorthodox pacing and offbeat moods, however, will be rewarded with a film that reveals new emotional and intellectual layers on each successive viewing. A combination sex comedy and philosophical rumination on people’s desire to connect, Choose Me eschews Hollywood slickness for a sort of deliberate awkwardness that is far closer to real life than most so-called “romantic comedies.” From Genevieve Bujold’s supremely analytical but passion-impaired radio sex doctor to Lesley Ann Warren’s wounded, compulsively unattached barkeep and Keith Carradine’s matter-of-factly delusional drifter, the movie’s characters fumble around in the dark — sometimes figuratively but often literally — trying to find some way to pair off without losing their essential selves. Along the way, co-writer/director Rudolph takes in an assortment of peripheral nightlife denizens: a pouty would-be poetess; a bruised, brooding bartender; and an adulterous French gangster who doesn’t care if his wife cheats as long as she doesn’t get kinky. Against the backdrop of production designer Steven G. Legler’s drowsy, twilight dream of Los Angeles, these players reveal our eternal romantic rituals to be more a matter of deceit and circumstance than of desire; in Rudolph’s world, lives are changed after a passing glance and the only people who tell the truth are the ones who claim to be liars. Unfortunately, not every member of the ensemble can carry off the stylized acting that is both a hallmark of Rudolph’s films and a precursor to the affected mannerisms of early Hal Hartley efforts; Rae Dawn Chong, in particular, teeters precariously between portraying her character’s peevish vapidity and succumbing to it herself. But from cinematographer Jan Kiesser’s creative use of mirror shots and stylish framing to the Teddy Pendergrass ballads that pepper the jazz/soul soundtrack, Choose Me is, on the whole, a remarkably consistent and self-assured film that retains its subtle power even when the performances occasionally falter.
