One from the Heart (1982)

[Edgy MD]

Career disaster for Francis Ford Coppola and probably a strong knife in the heart of the film musical genre.

Yet, I am curious. Should I go away somewhere and sit quietly until that curiosity passes?

i haven't seen it since its initial release, but i remember it fondly, for whatever that's worth. And i thought at the time that the HEAVEN'S GATE-like response to it was entirely disproportionate to its alleged aesthetic sins. But just remember, i liked NATE & HAYES.

I spent a few hours in 1982 at Zoetrope Studios among the amazing sets for that movie. I like the music a lot but the movie, which I saw not long ago, while it has its moments, just doesn't work. As Vic says, not a disaster aesthetically but it can't keep up with what it was trying to do.
