Review of The Cotton Club (1984) by Paul Attanasio for Washington Post — 02 Jan 2018
In the way it deemphasizes its script and consciously undercuts its star, Cotton Club adventurously questions the formulas of Hollywood; its success in doing so without a hint of boredom or pretension augurs a whole new way of making movies.
It's the most entertaining art film of the year, the kind of movie you can't help smiling along with.
