From the opening quote from Joan Didion, to the first scene's depiction of a car ride being given and its feeling that the *whole country* was like this at the time, kids off from school, meeting each other ... you feel like you're on to something special, and in the hands of a gifted director.
From Mary Harron, director of Jim Jarmusch's favorite film of all time (check the Internet), 'American Psycho' (2000), and depicted *herself* in the Alan Rickman 'CBGB' movie from some years ago, a milieu Jarmusch would have been familiar with, comes a story of the twilight's last gleaming.
Should be later with Paul Thomas Anderson's film of the Pynchon novel, 'Inherent Vice,' as part of not just re-remembering the '60s but the effort, gently but firmly, to replace an awful lot of our historians with artists firing on all cylinders maybe taking a step aside to deal with other realities (see Jarmusch's own 'Gimme Danger,' his documentary about the Stooges, for more).
I recommend it!
It's good.
Get *entranced* ...
Portland, over and out.
