Honeysuckle Rose (Schatzberg, 1980): Prince Charles Cinema, 12.20pm
This 35mm screening is on sale at £1 for Prince Charles Cinema.
Time Out review:
Jerry Schatzberg might be a very urban cowboy (Panic in Needle Park, Puzzle of a Downfall Child, Sweet Revenge,
etc), but there's no evidence here of slick, Altman-style condescension
to country 'n' western culture. Instead there's an unforced equation of
the upfront emotional currency of C&W lyrics with a simple
triangular plotline pared down from Intermezzo (singer Willie Nelson and
wife Dyan Cannon almost come apart over the lure of the road and one more
infidelity). Nothing new under the sun - but the easy-going fringe
benefits are well worth the ticket: Nelson's a natural, and the duets
with Cannon are pure gold.
