One of the most famous productions of its time, Francis Coppola's <I>One from the Heart</I> is a "little movie" that grew into a gigantic, studio-bankrupting behemoth. Entirely shot on glorious sets in Coppola's Zoetrope studio, the teeny story follows a bickering Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr and Frederic Forrest) during a night's madness with others. It would be nice to recommend the film to romantics, or movie-musical mavens, but really this film is for the technologically minded: it's a flashy display of camera trickery and painted sets (anticipating <I>Moulin Rouge</I>). Alas, the techno-dazzle is somewhat at odds with the clunky performances and choppy editorial flow and it has all the warmth of neon. Since its initial botched release, the film has developed a small but devoted following, in part because of the terrific song score by Tom Waits (sung by Waits and Crystal Gayle). It should be seen, not least as a case study in bravado. <I>--Robert Horton</I>
Viewer Reviews
I was reading another obscure Copplia movie review, when I came on this movie and just came to a stop. This quirky movie stopped me dead in my tracks 20 or so years ago and instigated a extended discussion about it with my companion for hours over dinner. I bought the album because the Tom Watts and Crystal Gayle soundtrack was just so captivating and bluesy ( maybe it was the music and not Terri Garr you think?) Or perhaps it's just an unconventional telling of an ordinary tale with visually amazing sets. Definitely a "character piece" ( no action what so ever ). For people who want to think and be entertained.
