Wisconsin farm girl Elizabeth Carlson escapes to New York City. There she soon makes a career for herself as a fashion model. During a private viewing of paintings, she's approached by a mysterious man whose motives are unclear.
Director: James Toback
Stars: Nastassja Kinski, Rudolf Nureyev, Harvey Keitel, Ian McShane.
Watched online, ok print for small screen; cast poorly (sound).
5 songs in the Soundtracks, all in the score. Violin pieces are performed but not listed here.
For this to be tagged Music, and The Turning Point ('77) is not, is just crazy. Maybe twice RN is shown "playing" the violin.
But I'm rating this as a film, not as a music/al. And it's a nice little thriller, with RN as a terrorist hunter without a license to kill. At least I didn't hear that he was a gov't agent of any sort. Satisfying ending.
Apparently the average of 700+ IMDb voters disagree: score 5.1.
UA, dir. Toback; 7
