Interesting Film that I had never seen- Its fucking ODD. Out of The Blue- 1980

After reading about the death of Linda Ganz, and Natasha Lyonne raving about this performance, I checked out Youtube and sure enough the film Out Of The Blue was on there in its entirety..

I guess this was during Dennis Hopper's exile from Hollywood...

It is a VERY interesting film. Its like John Waters meets Robert Altman..

Some horrific performances from the supporting players (very much like John Waters- and very similar documentary like cinematography)

The film was nominated at Cannes and was virtually forgotten due to release issues. It looks like it was released 2-3 years later.

Ganz wasn't an actress, I think she WAS these characters she played. Its pretty amazing to watch, The film has a shocking last 10 minutes completely fucked up by the shitty script..

Very odd film that in my 43 years I have never heard of this film.....

Wasn't there a 4K remaster last year but it appears it never got to Blu-ray or streaming?

That film seems to have a tortured history.

R5- From what I read- It definitely has..

I am an Indie film expert and had never even heard of this film in all of my days...

R6 Which (obscure) movies can you recommend? I love watching obscure movies! Some of them are even on youtube!

And one part of me says that it is a HORRIBLE film (and horribly acted) and the other part says that it is a CLASSIC and Ganz and Hopper are geniuses... (The real supporting players are HORRIFIC- see that cafeteria/ice cream parlor scene shot at a wide angle- It is HORRIBLE. When I say Waters meets Altman, I stand by that.

I say it needs to be seen. And I will never look at Natasha Lyonne the same way again! (I think she said Ganz's performance is her "Safe space!"? Holy SHIT. That's not good, honey.

However, Now I see a lot of Ganz's character and performance in Lyonne's Slums of Beverly Hills character,,,so... hmmmm....

German Gay Guy! Someone mentioned Clockwatchers on a similar thread- It has to be from 1997?? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Do you like horror!?? Have you seen 2007's Inside?? aka "La Interieur"- A classic.

by Anonymousreply 9August 16, 2020 12:05 AM

And check out Summer Wishes Winter Dreams- on Youtube. A classic and forgotten film. Also recently recommended here on another thread. NOW on Youtube!

Are you sure it isn't Linda Manz, not Ganz?

R10 OMG, I want to watch that, though I find Joanne Woodward kind of bland. I always wanted to watch Resurrection with Ellen Burstyn, but the print on youtube is bad.

Resurrection r12 is a brilliant film. It's weird that it has remained somewhat obscure since Burstyn was nominated for an Oscar that year. She's magnificent in that film. I think it may be her best performance.

It was released on Blu-ray last year so I'm sure there must be a torrent or link online.

German Gay Guy! Holy FUCK! Watch Resurrection- Its a really wonderful film. You and the PRINTS!!!! Who gives a fuck. WATCH THAT ONE!!!!!!!! That one is a classic. I love Burstyn. Its worth the bad film version.....

I waited years to see Woodward in Summer Wishes and ended up purchasing the DVD (I think it was a bootleg) And now its fucking free on Youtube!!! Watch it-

I really liked it. It has a real element of truth in it. And I have never been a Woodward fan, but I have to say- this film, Marigolds, and Rachel Rachel- DID make me a fan. Very real. Just like life. She ain't pretty. She isn't fun. But she did ring some- REAL- truth in those performances.

by Anonymousreply 19August 16, 2020 12:18 AM

R18- You are CORRECT- It is Burstyn's best performance. And if you asked her what her favorite film is? It would be Resurrection.

German Gay Guy- Check it out. Its a classic, and a forgotten one.

by Anonymousreply 20August 16, 2020 12:26 AM

R19 I have seen Marigolds some time on youtube. Sometimes a Great Notion was also there for a while.

Also 'Come Back to the Five and Dime'.

by Anonymousreply 21August 16, 2020 12:27 AM

German Gay Guy- you are alright!

I saw Sometimes a Great Notion on Youtube as well! For the first time, barely a year ago-

I really dug that... I am huge Five Easy Pieces fan, and I found it in that same vein-

I'd like to hang with you and watch Indies!!!!

Oh! I thought you meant Linda Manz and felt sad.

It wasn't a film adaptation of the Dixie Carter sitcom?

Not interested.
