Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

This weekend on TCM:

John Huston's Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) is a film I have mixed feelings about. The rather strange inhabitants of these southern-Gothically tinged surroundings may remain underdeveloped but the performances from its superbly chosen cast compensate by genuinely conveying their characters' frustrations and desires making this an engrossing film-watching experience. It is a previous TCM recommendation here, and is worth eyeing Saturday, June 20 at 12:45 pm PDT.

Elizabeth Taylor, Brian Keith

Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is a seminal gangster saga heavily influenced by the French iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard. A prior review here includes a special contribution from Bob DiMucci who informatively reports on some of the film's critical responses at the time of its release. Following that, are my personal recollections at the age of 12 upon seeing this radically-new expeditious approach to American cinematic storytelling. The Barrow Gang will strike Saturday, June 20 at 2:45 pm PDT.

Faye Dunaway
