Mask (1985 Peter Bogdanovich)

Anna Hamilton Phelan has written a very warm script though I wonder if PB had any input - probably.  This - unlike the last one - is distinctly a Peter Bogdanovich Picture, complete with one of his trademark signature extremely long dissolves (this one beginning on a map of Europe).

Eric Stoltz and Cher are fine, Sam Elliott is an actor who does a lot by doing very little. And, when you want a Laura Dern, one comes along.

Quite emotional. And well overdue.

You wouldn't notice Laszlo Kovacs' photography.
