Someone to Love [VHS] | | Reviews
Product Overview
Writer-director Henry Jaglom's 1987, ruminating romantic comedy Someone to Love has the historic claim to featuring Orson Welles' final screen appearance. Welles plays "Danny’s Friend" (in real life, Welles and Jaglom, both independent filmmakers, were friends), experienced counsel to Jaglom's filmmaker character, who is in an existential dilemma over the inability of social institutions (particularly marriage and family) to gracefully accommodate a contemporary emphasis on personal fulfillment. Fascinated and bewildered by the seeming paradox of modern relationships, Danny invites a number of friends, especially women, to a condemned theater, where he films them answering his questions about such topics as loneliness and happiness. As with many Jaglom films, Someone to Love is both formed and formless, often seemingly improvised within a tight narrative structure. Jaglom himself, known to be a tough director on actors, comes across as charming and earnest, while the cast is adorned with the likes of Sally Kellerman, Andrea Marcovicci, Kathryn Harrold, Ronee Blakely, and Oja Kodar. --Tom Keogh
