The Moderns
The Moderns ★★★ 1988 (R)
One of the quirkier directors around, this time Rudolph tries a comedic period piece about the avant-garde art society of 1920s Paris. Fleshed out with some familiar characters (Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein) and some strange art-world types. The tone is not consistently funny but, instead, romantic as the main characters clash over art and love. 126m/C VHS, DVD . Keith Carradine, Linda Fiorentino, John Lone, Genevieve Bujold, Geraldine Chaplin, Wallace Shawn, Kevin J. O'Connor; D: Alan Rudolph; W: Alan Rudolph; M: Mark Isham. L.A. Film Critics ‘88: Support. Actress (Bujold).
