Risky Business – 1983 Brickman
- It’ s a teen coming-of-age film made with clear artistic intentions. It’s clearly influenced by the graduate but with an 80’s capitalism and materialism spin (complete with wonderful neon titles, a fantastic tangerine dream score, raybans, brilliant soundtrack (phil Collins, talking heads)—the end of innocence lust/greed vs duties duality is set up very nicely in an opening surrealism scene
- Like the graduate it dips into first person POV with exasperating parents preaching to him about his future
- Brickman’s debut but he never capitalized on this
- It is the tom cruise show- he’s tremendous here even without his improvised underwear bob seger dance moment-
- Recommend/Highly recommend border
