Blume In Love - 1973 - 5/10

Nina divorces hotshot lawyer Blume (George Segal), who cannot accept she left him.
And that she has taken up with a laid back musician (Kris Kristofferson).
Well acted, but this basic love triangle borders on obsessive melodrama.
Aside from Kristofferson and a radiant Marsha Mason, the characters are narcissists.
Unless you were there, and still remember, the 70’s were “The Me Decade”.
While this showcases that attitude, along with the empty, hedonistic values, the character stories are rather trite if not outright boring.
A message film, and the final message is flat out wrong. Even for the 70’s.
