Review of Border Radio (1987) by Lee M — 28 Nov 2016
Border Radio bears the influence of Jim Jarmusch. It goes for the same kind of meandering ordinariness that was the hallmark of early Jarmusch classics like Stranger than Paradise. This is a difficult conceit to manufacture, however, you have to have a special eye for it.
Either none of the three directors were cut out for this kind of storytelling or there were too many cooks in this kitchen, and so no real direction could be found. Nonetheless,it is an interesting attempt at portraying the post-punk L.
A. scene.
