Movie synopsis
Theresa Dunn (Diane Keaton) is sensitive grade-school teacher who leads a very different life after hours. Throwing off the emotional shackles of her troubled childhood, she enters the seemingly liberated world of singles bars and one-night stands in 1970s New York. But the self-degradation takes its toll and her loneliness only intensifies, catapulting Theresa into a volatile world of drug addiction and sexual alienation. This vivid and intense portrait of the free-spirited swinging-singles scene in New York City captures the naive spirit of early feminism as well as the turmoil of a woman's attempt to find her own sexual and spiritual identity. Theresa's own dreams and struggles are uniquely brought to life in delightful and disturbing fantasy sequences that bring a brash and complex nature to her own soul searchings. Diane Keaton's performance is raw and bittersweet, portraying the delight of sexual freedom as well as the volatile need and desire that she cannot quelch. Richard Brooks brilliantly employs a hard-hitting soundtrack, brutal cinematography, and intense realism to create a masterful cautionary tale and intimate portrait of the new woman of the 1970s.

Didn't Find Mr. Goodbar

This film is very poignant. It's very dated, but it was set in a time where sexual freedom was very experimental and nearly every male wasn't looking for a long term relationship, or so it seemed (think Studio 54). The main character is a tortured soul who comes to the realization that she had been lied to as a child about a congenital defect that she is affected with that was passed on by her father. She has a huge scar from the surgery to correct the defect that keeps grabbing attention whenever she is intimate with a partner. As she becomes a young adult her attitude towards life changes 180 degrees. She loses sight of what she considers very important to her in life. Eventually she patronizes seedy joints and meets seedy characters. One character she met was definitely the wrong type and in the end of the film she pays for her encounter with this person. This film is based on a novel which is based on a true life experience. LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR is a very sad and very difficult film to watch, but it's an EXCELLENT movie. A woman who leads a double life. When is it coming out on DVD?

) I remembered seeing this movie back when I was too young to be seeing a movie like this...But somehow, I never forgot it...Or did I? It's not like I remembered it to be at all! But that is what made it so much fun this time around, because it was like seeing a whole new movie. Granted, it is a 70's flick, and it is bordering on being "artsy", but the storyline of drug addiction, meeting all the wrong people at the right time, and the inner struggle that comes with the "fast lifestyle" are still all very prevalent and timeless issues. For it's time, this is a well-done movie, but make sure you pay attention, or you will have no idea what is going on after a while!

Looking For Mr. Goodbar
Created: 20/12/09
) I purchased this movie as a Christmas gift for my mother. She has been dyinggggg to get this but it is so expensive. You would think since this is an old movie on VHS it would be under $5.00 but the prices actually start at $24.00. So I thought I'd surprise her for Christmas and purchase it. Luckily I got this one for under $20.00! Haven't seen it yet because it's now wrapped up under the tree. But on Dec 25, my mom will finally get to see this movie. Thank You!!!
