DAVID CARRADINE DIRECTS 'AMERICANA' AKA 'AROUND'
David Carradine's AMERICANA Filmed: 1973 Released: 1983 |
Along with his then-girlfriend (in the seventies, during the BOXCAR BERTHA era) Barbara Hershey, the movie flows in a spontaneous nature. And while some of the intentionally realistic-for-realism non-actor side-characters can be distracting at first, it's eventually overcome by the purposefully laidback aura: everything fitting into an non-contrived organic template about real life and real people... back then. Or in this case, back, back then.
