Easy Rider
If I'm not mistaken, back when Paris was full of movie theaters, it was
said that you could find Easy Rider playing somewhere in town any night
of the week. Which makes it fitting that I first saw Easy Rider in a
movie theater in Paris, and in fact, it's the only film I've ever seen
in a theater in Europe. (I suppose I should hop across the pond to bus
dishes more often.) Since that initial viewing, I've rented Easy Rider a
couple times--good film even if the Southern stereotyping is
over-the-top. I've never even heard of the other Peter Fonda film the
cool kids on here are mentioning, but I liked Ulee's Gold, and I have no
recollection of any Fondas in The Limey, which to me, was okay, not
great. I miss previous versions of America, some of which are presented in various Fonda family films although I'm not thinking of Jane Fonda's Barbarella, which my father, accidentally or not, took me to see when I was nine years old. R.I.P, Peter.
