The Day of the Lucust (1975/John Schlesinger) **1/2 out of **** [First Viewing]
A look at the Golden Age of Hollywood and several people trying to make it, despite the hardships of the Great Depression.
Such a bizarre film. Despite it's promising opening, it goes way off track with the introduction of Donald Sutherland's character. The ending, while brillantly choreographed and equally terrifying, means nothing after all is said and done. At least the cinematography and period detail are well done.
