- DirectorBob RafelsonStarsJack NicholsonKaren BlackBilly Green BushA dropout from upper-class America picks up work along the way on oil rigs when his life isn't spent in a squalid succession of bars, motels, and other points of interest.Großartiger, sehr trauriger Film über einen verlorenen, vom Leben enttäuschten Mann, der aus einer Musikerfamilie stammt.
Eigentlich hätte er Pianist werden sollen, aber entzog sich offenbar dieser Anforderung, um stattdessen als Arbeiter in der Ölindustrie Geld zu verdienen.
Bobby`s (Jack Nicholson) Leben wird von einer ständigen Flucht bestimmt: vor seinem früheren Leben, vor seinem nun nervenkranken Vater, der ihn einst kaum wahrnahm und jetzt aus gesundheitlichen Gründen (wohl Alzheimer) dazu nicht mehr imstande ist.
Äußerst intensiver Charakterporträt. Dabei verfügt der Film selbst über fast gar keinen Plot, die Handlung besteht aus kleinen Szenen, die aneinandergereiht werden, um Bobby`s Verzweiflung besser nachvollziehen zu können.
Der Schluss des Films ist eine weitere Flucht Bobby´s vor der Realität seiner Existenz: auf einer Tankstelle im Bundesstaat Washington lässt er seine White-Trash-Freundin (Karen Black) einfach allein zurück, um bei einem Truck mit Holzladung mitzufahren.
Sehr anrührend und melancholisch und ohne wirkliche Aussicht auf Besserung in der Zukunft. Ein großes Stück New Hollywood.

Selbes Kino, in dem wir bereits "A Safe Place" gesehen hatten. "Parallax" ist wesentlich aufwändiger produziert als "Safe Place" und gehört eher in die Sparte der "French Connection"-Filme. Warren Beatty spielt wunderbar in diesem Vorläufer großartiger Paranoia-Filme wie "Arlington Road" oder "Conspiracy Theory".
Die 1970er Jahre hatten tatsächlich hochinteressantes und spannendes, aufrüttelndes Kino zu bieten. Das zu erfahren, dafür bin ich der diesjährigen Berlinale sehr dankbar. - DirectorHenry JaglomStarsTuesday WeldOrson WellesJack NicholsonA strange young woman lives in a fantasy world where she can never grow up.Mit Mone in der Berlinale-Retrospektive. Dieser Film ist definitv sehr wort- und kopflastig.
Mone war sehr genervt von ihm. Ich hingegen hatte mich sehr auf den Film gefreut und war auch nicht total geschockt, als er sich als eine Art überkandideltes Filmkunstdrama entpuppte. Ich werde dazu mal mehr aufschreiben, wenn ich Zeit habe. - DirectorJerry SchatzbergStarsAl PacinoKitty WinnAlan VintFollows the lives of heroin addicts who frequent "Needle Park" in New York City.
