Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)
Country: US
Technical: col 112m
Director: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Kris Kristofferson, Alfred Lutter
Synopsis:
A widowed mother determines to take the road from New Mexico to California, where she hopes to make it as a singer. On the way she must take temporary work, for example as waitress in a diner, where she meets a divorcee who seems sweet on her, while her precocious son spends far too much time on his own.
Review:
Scorsese left New York and gangster stories for this gentle character piece about broken dreams, cut from the same cloth as Bogdanovich's contemporaneous Last Picture Show. It lacks the mythic power and multi-viewpoint narrative of that film, but is the archetypal aimless New Hollywood seventies movie.
