In Search of Gregory (1970)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Peter Wood
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
(YouTube)

Julie Christie travels to Geneva to attend her father's wedding, mainly enticed by his description of a friend who may be just the man she is looking for. The only problem is that the man may not actually exist and she spends most of the film trying to find him. She captures glimpses of him, supposedly a famous race car driver, at parties, during a strange game of "auto-ball" or at her father's fiance's apartment. When she finally meets him in person, he may or may not be the person she thought he was. Enigmatic film from the writer of Blow-Up and Zabriskie Point never quite catches fire, but Julie Christie is perfect as the perplexed but persistent girl.
