739 - The American Friend (1977)
b'
When you imagine the lead character in the Talented Mr. Ripley, do you picture a wild-eyed Dennis Hopper in coveralls and a cowboy hat wandering around 1977 Hamburg? \\xa0No? \\xa0Well apparently Wim Wenders was the only director bold enough to take Patricia Highsmith\\u2019s legendary anti-hero in that...uh...specific direction. \\xa0But if that has scared you off, don\\u2019t worry: the movie is mostly about Bruno Ganz rocking a real sexy 1970s dad look while he clumsily tries his hand as a mob hitman. \\xa0And it\\u2019s beautiful.
If you\\u2019d like to join us for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jean-Luc Godard\\u2019s\\xa0Weekend\\xa0(1967).
