FOOL FOR LOVE (1986)
ROBERT ALTMAN
Plot
May, hounded by cowboy drifter and half-brother Eddie, tries to hide from him in a seedy out-of-the-way neon-lit New Mexican motel, but he finds her. The film explores the history of their relationship, mainly from their childhoods, that has led them to this point. It's very easy to feel sympathy for the characters and to understand that their complex and passionate dysfunctional relationship is a result of past events out of their control. We mainly watch them fight, make up, fight, make up and so on. The soundtrack is also perfect soulful country in this adaptation of Sam Shepard's play. This is the kind of movie that will stay lodged in some part of your brain/soul. In other words, watch it!
