Review of Little Murders (1971) by Ian R — 10 Oct 2011
Alan Arkin directs Jules Feiffer's off-Broadway play satirizing contemporary life in New York. Floundering, nihilistic photographer Alfred (Elliot Gould) becomes a relationship project for Patsy (Marcia Rood), who desperately tries to return feeling to Alfred's life.
While the film has fine performances and clever writing (Feiffer also wrote the screenplay), the extensive monologues and erratic final quarter make this a tough one to watch. Donald Sutherland has a hilarious role as the 'preacher' of Alfred and Patsy's secular wedding.
