Paper Moon
1973/B&W/102 minutes
I love this movie, the same way I love Bergman's Winter Light. It blew me away the first time I watched it. Everything in the movie just feels so right and they all come together perfectly-- the acting (Ryan and Tatum O'Neal & co.), the production design (American Midwest in the Depression Era), the music, the gorgeous deep-focus B&W cinematography by Lazlo Kovacs (Easy Rider, The Last Waltz), the charming story of a bible-selling con man with his smart-ass daughter and Peter Bogdanovich's vision for the movie.
I want every single one of you to be there at Joe's on Monday. I would like to watch this film again, with you.
