Review of Ciao! Manhattan (1973) by Noah S — 02 May 2009

"This movie is an odd little contrived exploitative capsule of a real scene and real people." - Facebook user. I couldn't help feeling that the movie would have been better if had been just that instead of a series of flashbacks.

Why the director felt he had to bring us back to the reality of now is beyond me. It worked like a charm when were consumed by Edie's narrative ... " ... that soaring sense of perfection, like, oh god, a 24-hour climax .

.. I'm greedy, I'd like to keep most of it for myself and a few of my friends, keep that superlative high on the cusp of each day so that I can radiate sunshine.".
