BiggieTembo 14th May 2015		Zab you should really check this out - Why isn't Eric Stoltz more recognised than he is? Maybe he is in the US... This, and his incredible ensemble turn (with the intense William Forsyth, and a great performance by Wesley Snipes) in The Waterdance should have won him an Oscar. Elias Koteas - always authentic in everything he's been in - is like a Henry Rollins-type skinhead in this. In Crash and The Thin Red Line he also excels.



zabadak 14th May 2015		I didn't see this one but agree totally with your comments about TBC and PIP :thumbsup:



BiggieTembo 14th May 2015		Of all the mid-80s teen-movies that came out of the USA, they say that The Breakfast Club is one of the best. Followed closely by Pretty In Pink. Although Breakfast had a few characters that were somewhat realistic, Pretty In Pink failed miserably for me. I just couldn't identify with the characters, and I was just as lost as they were at that time... Until I saw this one. The great Eric Stoltz and tremendous Elias Koteas in roles that I could identify with. Sensitive, individual, restless, authentic-to-themselves (or at least they were trying to be), anarchistic - all the things about being young and alive. And trying to be real in an age of wtf-hopelessness. This film also had great humour. In the UK we were bombarded with US culture so much, we thought all it was about was winning. This film showed me for the first time that thoughful, good, alive teenage characters existed in US culture too.
