Atlantic City (1980)
I picked up this film in a NetFlix sweep of director Louis Malle’s films. Although for the 40 minutes or so I gave it I could appreciate its quality, I ultimately blew out. When the psychology of the plot doesn’t ring true for me I tend to lose interest quickly–and this film’s psychology was worthy of Jerry Springer. I could not bring myself to comprehend why any of the main characters would ever ever associate with those with whom they were involved. Sorry, Louis.
