The Long Goodbye at HOME
Tom Grieve, Cinema Editor
In a genius move, director Robert Altman transplants Raymond Chandler’s iconic private detective, Philip Marlowe (Elliot Gould) from the 1950s to the 1970s in this gloriously cynical, New Hollywood sunshine-noir. Clad in a black suit and tie, Gould has never been better than as the world-weary Marlowe, chasing down a missing friend through the backstreets and beach houses, hoodlums and artists of a Los Angeles he hardly recognises.
“…A masterpiece that, like its hero, refuses to grow old.” Geoff Andrew
