Product: Detour [VHS] (1945)
Rating: 4.0
Really good, but bizarre.
A "cheapie" film-noir movie made in 6 days, but with all the great aspects that made film-noir what it was. Very thought-provoking--I'm still not clear what was going on. It involves a paranoid, masochistic guy stuck with a vicious, psychotic woman. Their motives are never clear (at least to me) but they make you think a lot. Is he as innocent as he thinks or does he bring the heat on himself? Is she nasty or nuts? Good background music, too.
