I stopped a while back posting this type of material on TFT, (I just tweet throughout the day instead), but I wanted this on the site: It brightens up my day no end.
And if you haven’t seen POINT BLANK then see it. See it now.
I finally saw POINT BLANK a few months ago. I was blown away by its visual style and composition. The scene in the nightclub pays 60s homage to “the scene”, all trippy and chaotic. But it doesn’t become cliche. Instead, Lee Marvin’s character is this unstoppable force of nature out to wreak havoc on the world.
Amazing to me that it was made by a fairly young John Boorman since it has so many hallmarks of Americana. Why it’s not universally hailed as a ground-breaking film is anyone’s guess.
POINT BLANK is so good it’s scary – absurdly influential, hip, modern, cool, piercing, distrustful of authority, wise to the folly of youth and the deficiencies of the male.
