Diner (1982)
Country: US
Technical: col 110m
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Ellen Barkin
Synopsis:
Baltimore, 1959: a group of friends about to hit their twenties, and who congregate at the local diner, struggle to come to terms with the passing of their formative years, whether symbolised by a coveted record collection or the script of Sweet Smell of Success.
Review:
A diamond film that has always been a challenge to access, about the loss of that intimacy that comes with growing up with the same bunch of people. Naturally there is much of Levison in it, which dictates the date of its setting, but the latter is also appropriate as a cusp point for a national loss of innocence (cf. American Graffiti).
