Shoot the Moon (1982)
Country: US
Technical: col 123m
Director: Alan Parker
Cast: Albert Finney, Diane Keaton, Karen Allen, Peter Weller
Synopsis:
Husband and wife split and struggle to maintain their relationship with their son.
Review:
Archetypal separation drama, less clichéd and saccharine than most, allegedly based on the director's own experience of marital break-up. It is well acted and a refreshing change from the usual Parker experience, though the cathartic climax is doubtful. The title comes from a card game played at one point by the characters.
