Love Always
The so-young-so-in-love credits sequence, with a background saxophone to help it along, is fast left in the dust of a desultory road movie ("Just because I'm not going to marry you right now doesn't mean I don't love you"), with a hip selection of pop songs on the soundtrack (J.J. Cale, The Doors, The Supremes, Rosanne Cash: but couldn't they have used a different Iris DeMent tune from the one Bertolucci used in Little Buddha?), a standard Vegas montage, a single-file parade of "colorful" characters, the usual routine. So old, so tired. Marisa Ryan, the free-spirit heroine, appears to control her performance by electrical switches and dials, and is prone to set it too high. With Moon Zappa, Michael Reilly Burke, Tracy Fraim; directed by Jude Pauline Eberhard. 1997.
