Taking Off

Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA

In this dark, affectionate satire, a husband and wife embark on a wildgoose chase after their runaway daughter and wind up experimenting with the lifestyle of youth counterculture. In his first film after migrating to the U.S. in the wake of the Soviet crackdown, Forman offers a fresh, idiosyncratic perspective on his adopted country. Ike and Tina Turner contribute an electrifying performance.

Formans career pivot point between Pragues filmschool halls and the Oscars podium is still a prime example of the way a foreign director can apply an outsiders perspective to something like Nixons Amerikkka and draw blood. Time Out NY
