Swamp Critter
Moscow On the Hudson. 1984. Starring Robin Williams & Maria Conchita Alanso in her first US feature. She is pleasant, but Williams is a sometimes moody. sometimes exuberant force of nature. He is not his usual antic cutup, but a moody exile from his loved but debilitating Russian homeland. NYC smashes into him with its 1984 mix of immigrants, Afro-American culture and bustling density. Roger Ebert said about the writer and director Paul Mazursky that "He has a way of making comedies that are more intelligent and relevant than most of the serious films around," I thought that some of the pieces of Moscow and NYC were easy stereotypes, but they presented a time and a place, perhaps for a new exile - and arrival.
