MCT:April 17, 2008Beautifully crafted film set in late 1960s San Francisco. A marvel of storytelling for those that are game. A must-see! Julie Christie is simply breathtaking in every single shot.

MCT:December 25, 2007Richard Lester at the helm, kooky Christie and tightly-wound Scott, swinging London style (but set in San Francisco) - it has all the ingredients for a perfect swinging sixties screwball comedy. Instead, it's a great swinging sixties screwball tragedy. It's bleak, and so sad, and it's all shown with a glossy, stylish surface, which makes the underlying sadness all the more potent. Nicolas Roeg's cinematography magnifies the gloss to the point where the quick flashback/flash-forward editing, by Antony Gibbs, scrutinizingly dissects it so that we can see through it and feel the emptiness inside. (The two of them later teamed up again for Roeg's 'Walkabout.') Julie Christie is simply luminous, yet poignant with subtle pain. It's amazing to see how Lester deepens over the course of the sixties, that he directed two of the most gleeful films of the decade ('A Hard Day's Night' and 'The Knack') and also one of the saddest (this one) - all three of which are among the decade's best. A wonderful marker of the downturn of the 1960s - it's an excellent companion piece and foil to 'The Graduate.'

This movie just wrecks me. And while I know it enjoys a good reputation I don't quite understand why more people don't consider it a top-rank classic.
