Many Henry Jaglom movies ask the question, "What if Woody Allen wasn't funny?" but this one asks, "What if John Cassavetes was untalented?" Dennis Hopper stars as a 'Nam vet with PTSD in a meandering improvised drama that captures all the fun and excitement of eavesdropping on strangers' boring conversations on a train because you forgot to bring earbuds or a book.
Henry Jaglom doing The Last Detail but with Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and a dead body -- largely takes place on a train yet feels decidedly like a mid-70s road movie, full of apathy, horniness and misplaced rage with at least one scene being an all timer Hopper outburst; wildly underrated albeit full of questionable (to repulsive) behavior and politics five decades later, so ymmv
i was pleasantly taken aback by how proto-linklaterian so much of this film is! the train setting feels very purgatorial, and all the relationships between those riding are transient but it's so lovely to watch real life best friends dean stockwell and dennis hopper unintentionally have great lived-in screen chemistry even though their characters have just met. at times this does feel like if BEFORE SUNRISE was not romantic and from the perspective of someone with PTSD, which is to say these incredible dialogue scenes are broken up by jarring bits of hallucination and trauma. the use of music from the 40s works really well to juxtapose the negative reception vietnam veterans received against the glorification of soldiers during WWII, the latter of which the main character feels he deserves. it's a unique low-budget poetic film with some inventive handheld photography and i'm surprised it's so under-seen!however! why does no one know how to kiss in this movie?? watching dennis hopper flap his weird snakey tongue around gave me a visceral reaction!!! some scenes in this film are fully 5 stars but truly i cannot get over the terrible kissing. it is so distressing to me! i hate it so much! (dennis hopper screaming "I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I HATE I HATE I HATE" is literally me going from a chatty scene about chicken skin to dennis hopper touching tongues with someone.)regardless this was an interesting film and if anyone ends up watching this hmu because i want to chat about it! especially the role of women in this movie which i am mulling over, feeling conflicted about, etc.
