Paper Moon - Peter Bogdanovich(USA, 1973, 1h 42m)
Details
“Of the nearly lost tradition of beautiful‐dream movies”
—The New York Times
“The images (by Laszlo Kovacs) have a lovely dusty openness — a realistic view of the midwestern flatlands fading into a romantic memory.”
—Chicago Reader
“Has a mix of folksiness and precise craft that anticipates the Coen brothers, aiming to charm and succeeding.”
—The Age
Shot in beautiful black and white, this Depression-era movie stars real-life father & daughter Ryan and Tatum O’Neal. Addie (Tatum O’Neal), who we meet at her mother’s funeral, may or may not be the daughter of Moses Pray (Ryan O’Neal), but she is entrusted to his care nevertheless. Moses agrees to deliver Addie to her aunt in Missouri. Along the way, the pair run swindles across the heartland, forging a bond in the process. Ms. O’Neal, 11 years old at the time, was awarded an Oscar for her performance. In 35mm.
