Quite a cast assembled for this Mark Pellington film based on a Dan Wakefield novel.
Future Oscar winners Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz, and Jill Clayburgh, Lesley Anne Warren, Amy Locane, Rose McGowan and Jeremy Davies assembled for a a Beat era tale of two Korean War vets who come home to lives of existential angst and disconnection.
This is being labeled a “director’s re edit,” and a “Sundance hit,” which is kind of contradictory. Can’t recall the story on why this never got much of a release. Author or studio imposed limitations on how it was cut? Director acknowledging now that it just didn’t “play?”
Nov. 7, we find out what the fuss should have been about.
