Claudia Moreno Parsons joins us for an exploration of Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s The Outsiders (1983).Based on S.E. Hinton\u2019s 1967 novel about working class teen \u201cgreasers\u201d in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Outsiders is a searing take on the rigidity of class in America that resists the easy answers of other \u201cyoung adult\u201d books and movies of the era. In this conversation, we talk about the elements that make this film unique, from its melodramatic tone and affecting performances to the wider cultural and political questions with which it grapples.
