Looking For Mr. Goodbar - 1977 - 6/10

Theresa, schoolteacher by day, clubrat by night, sleeping around, popping pills.
Part of this is her blossoming out of an ugly girl adolescence, and rebellion against her uptight Catholic family.
Bar shots and club scenes are alright. The “adult” stuff is listless (though Gere has energy to spare) .
Keaton was acclaimed, since this was a real break from her Woody Allen roles, but I didn’t get her.
Day time: passionate. Dating scene: disinterested, bored, the proverbial dead fish lay. Quaaludes?
Dreary, moralizing film proves a real downer.
Loose sex in the ‘70’s (pre-AIDS) was shallow, freewheeling, and much more fun.
