Out of the Blue (1980) YTS - Download Yify Movie

While he’s certainly more famous as an actor, Dennis Hopper made quite the name for himself behind the camera with films like Easy Rider, The Last Movie, Colours and the one I watched last night, Out Of The Blue. He wasn’t the original director, but when he took over he evidently turned the film into something completely different, and gave us a drama for the ages. A bleak but not entirely downbeat story of a dysfunctional family wracked by substance abuse and personal demons, it follows CeBe, played by the late Linda Manz, a peppy and rebellious teenager whose brash and outgoing attitude masks the damaged and insecure person deep inside. Manz gives one of the great on screen adolescent performances, managing to be combative without being annoying and fragile without being maudlin. We get the kind of intense family conflicts you’d expect, but what makes them unsettling is Cebe’s reaction. Usually in a film like this she’d be screaming at her bedroom door or weeping into her pillow, but here she appears completely clam and unaffected, like this is second nature to her and not even worthy of getting upset about. The film takes the time to explore the broken family dynamic, acknowledging that both parents are in the wrong but for different reasons, and Hopper proves to be as much of a force in front of the camera as he is behind it. It’s not an easy sit and, spoiler alert, doesn’t end on the most positive of notes, but it’s an intense and challenging exploration of a torn household that doesn’t resort to cheap tactics to get its messages across. Not a pleasant watch, but an important one.

Treated as a sequel to Easy Rider where

Treated as a sequel to Easy Rider where excess freedom leads to a life in chains. It's relentless, gritty, realistic, even if it appears as a composite of social worker case studies. It's a generational reaction to the hippie culture that became out of touch with the abused and neglected next gen. This could be a one-two punch with Sid and Nancy and make an audience repent afterwards.
