Viewing Notes
It’d been ages since I’d seen this (probably mid to late eighties) and I truly forgot how good it was. Probably Tony Scott’s best film.
Sarandon and Deneuve really heat up the screen and Bowie has a really nice turn as the suddenly aging John Blaylock. I was surprised to see both Ann Magnuson and Willem Dafoe (in a very small role) in this as well. I really didn’t remember Dafoe being in this at all.
