Review of Breezy (1973) by Timothy D — 04 Dec 2018
What can I say about Breezy? Yes, it may reek a little of snobbishness, to take one of Clint(TM)s lesser known directorial efforts and plant it smack-dab in his all-time top five, but Breezy is a dusty jewel of a movie.
Similar to the irritating, inter-generational quirk-bomb that is Harold and Maude, Clintï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s film tells of a bed-hopping beatnik played by Kay Lenz and her slow, steady and utterly charming relationship with an older, starched-shirt divorcee played by William Holden.
In the press of late, Clint has lambasted what he believes to be a be a generation of pampered, politically correct pussies, but a film like Breezy, which is so affirmative about the notion of peaceful co-existence and accepting primal impulses, you canï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t help but think that itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s all just stealth marketing for Sully.
(May December romance has hardy looked better onscreen).
