Too much of everything

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I watched the first hour of it.All the actors and actresses are unusually good, and beautiful.The dialogue, plot, everything else, are hugely awful, unbelievably dumb.Tough ex-cop Kristofferson and the actresses are super sweet.Carradine is the at first manly sweet, then foppish, bad guy,Watch all these people in different movies.

Trouble in Mind is a masterpiece from Alan Rudolph - the most underrated movie director of USA. It's a great analysis of the amoral society where everyone is ready to sell a soul for his, his friend's or at least for his child's future. In the game of life only the ones wise enough to play with small bets survive.80's were an afterglow of the 70's criticism against the weak but high developed systems. Although films like "To live and to die in L.A" got the most attention in this area, Trouble in Mind won't have to be ashamed no bit.

The forecast is overcast. Director Alan Rudolph sets the tone early on and TROUBLE IN MIND never once strikes a sour note. The cinematography is superb: the camera never stops moving, drifting slowly toward or pulling slowly away from the ex-con, Kristofferson, the country bumpkin-cum-Big City thug, Carradine, his mentor, Morton, the naive engenue, Singer, the survivor, Bujold, or the king of queens, Divine. The story unfolds gradually, logically. The music is appropriately moody. THIS is the way to tell a story. Anyone seriously interested in writing or directing needs to add this one to their list of must-see movies. To miss it would be to miss out.

"Trouble in Mind" is a moody and decidedly different film. Take your pick as to whether it's set in an alternate reality or a retro-future. Either way, the inhabitants of Rain City are drifters and lost people whose lives collide as they go on to whatever fate awaits them. Divine makes a surprisingly good bad guy, while Kristofferson is a little wooden but still fits the part. Worth seeing.
