Atlantic City: Inspired setting, inspired casting, so where's the inspired film?
Atlantic City is another movie I got from Roger Ebert's Great Movies. It's directed by Louis Malle, the director of My Dinner with Andre (and husband of Candice Bergen, until his death), who's not quite part of the French New Wave. I liked My Dinner with Andre more. Atlantic City is a solid film with the delightful combination of an old Burt Lancaster and a young Susan Sarandon, however, it didn't really move me. There are plenty of admirable things about this film, such as it's focus on characters over the drug-related plot, but it just left me a little cold.
In this film Susan Sarandon takes off her top and rubs lemons on her breasts . . . several times.
