Plot summary

Hugely successful but impossibly neurotic songwriter Georgie Soloway is sliding into a mid-life crisis. He believes that all of his past romantic relationships have been destroyed not by his own failings but by the interference of the mysterious Harry Kellerman. Family, friends, and his psychiatrist cannot give him the help he seeks. When his father is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Georgie begins spending more and more time flying his personal aircraft, distancing himself physically, emotionally, and mentally from the real world.

I can't let go off the lamp. Absurd

I can't let go off the lamp. Absurd, touching, funny, crazy. It's a movie cut in many different sequences, and to my taste, not entirely finished. It bounces forth and back around the life of a character who, between psychoanalysis (very popular in the 70's) and dreams, questions why does he wants to kill himself. An interesting movie about the subject taken with a second degree (maybe the belgian side of the director Ulu ‘Grosbard' ).

You know I get the character is lost

You know I get the character is lost trying to make sense of his mental issues but the plot just feels nonexistant because of it. That's the fatal blow here in a nutshell. And yet somehow it's not a complete trainwreck and maintains your interest despite of that pretty well. That is one heck on an accomplishment that should'nt be overlooked. The acting is solid with Harris & Hoffman and really everyone doing good suprisngly. I thiink it's because is one of the secrets that makes this not collapse is this actually gets a chuckle every now and than consistently with it's dead pan but also bizarre dark humor. The editing isn't good but everything else is above average. I seriously think if this actually had a narrative to it, this would be an absolute favorite of mine. I'd say remake this to fix that but there is no way this coud ever be remade. Only in New Hollywood could something like this have been attempted. The wholle film feels like a opening scene or character establshment and never gets out of that phase. It just jumps around with interesting scenes but just never can link them into anything. We just learn about Harry and it's difficult to tell what is reality or what is in his head. It's creepy, funny, bizarre, and somehow keeps you watching despite no narrative really besides always being focused on Hoffman. That scene with Harris confessing her soul was pretty good nad porbably the best thing despite not being funny. Sometimes I don't understand what it's doing but it just has strange vibes I don't mind like when he's just singing guitar randomly. I really don't know what else to say besides if your a big fan of any actor or the director here maybe check this out. Or a really deep cut hardcore New Hollywood flick fan. On a side note this may take the title for the longest movie title of a film I've ever seen.
