Gans was some kind of exotic dancer in NYC at the time, IIRC - there might be more info in the commentary track of the film; not sure where I learned this.rick mcginnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238756880941710637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-51667185924873432422010-01-24T16:27:53.632-05:002010-01-24T16:27:53.632-05:00I feel as if everyone kinda needs to be prepared f...I feel as if everyone kinda needs to be prepared for the lack of (traditional) plot- chances are, if you go in expecting balls-to-the-wall, chain-slingin', tire-iron hurlin' Dafoe biker action, your average viewer is gonna be pretty disappointed. But you're right- there's certainly something hypnotic about the slow, deliberate pacing, and I was certainly sucked in on my first viewing.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-54990076252233805982010-01-21T16:24:08.744-05:002010-01-21T16:24:08.744-05:00It was also nice to see rockabilly legend Robert G...It was also nice to see rockabilly legend Robert Gordon in the cast. Man, he had great hair back in the day.<br /><br />Good call on Montgomery's influence on Lynch. I really love WILD AT HEART - one of Lynch's most passionate/romantic films to date. <br /><br />THE LOVELESS is an odd film to say the least. Not much happens and I remember getting very restless the first time I watched it. But if you can settle into the slow, deliberate pacing there is some interesting stuff going on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
