(1978, John Landis) “Beer barrels shatter windows, rock ‘n’ roll blares out, havoc rules in this sharp, college-campus-of-’62 crack at American Graffiti. An unashamed sense of its own fantasy is coupled with classically mounted slapstick; nostalgia mixes with cynicism in seductive proportions; and John Belushi’s central performance as brain-damaged slob-cum-Thief of Baghdad is wonderful.” – Chris Auty, Time Out. 35mm. Approx. 109 min.
