Directed by Nicholas Ray
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Nicholas Ray's swansong is a rambling, dated, pretentious experimental film. Projected images take up a fraction of the screen, occasionally overlapping each other, framed by a static picture. The impact is severely diminished by the limited space allotted to the action, such as it is. Mostly it's hippie student filmmakers attending political rallies, getting naked, shaving off their beard, and other assorted randomness. Nicholas Ray himself is omnipresent, supposedly directing this madness, giving himself the best line when he hangs himself for the finale: "I directed ten westerns and I can't even tie a damn noose!"
