  1. CW: 1970s films

    I was underwhelmed by Elaine May's film "Mikey and Nicky", though it's something of a cult favourite, so it took me a while to return to her work. I'm glad I did:

    "A New Leaf" and "The Heartbreak Kid" are comedy gems, somehow both goofy and darkish, and filled with great performances – by Walter Matthau, May herself, Jeannie Berlin (May's daughter), Charles Grodin...

    Well worth seeking out if you haven't seen them.

  16. I could watch this film again and again if I wasn’t so devastated afterwards, Elaine May’s existential and heartbreaking masterpiece about friendship and masculinity, Mikey and Nicky. I’m always in awe of her direction and the superb performances by long-time personal friends John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. The film was shot entirely at night and the grain is crazy, but this is New Hollywood, so we don’t care.

  21. “Elaine is the exact opposite of everyone else in Hollywood.” — Charles Grodin

    THE HEARTBREAK KID (1972) is on YouTube if you’d like to celebrate Elaine May’s 93rd birthday and what would have been Grodin’s 90th.
