A Reason to Live / USA / 1976
Co-directed with Marion Eaton (who also stars), George Kuchar’s A Reason to Live is a hilarious and wonderfully evocative noir — not quite an homage, a pastiche, or a parody — in opulent, silvery black and white. Kuchar also follows Jack Smith (and, of course, many others) with beautiful, ersatz Von Sternberg lensing (with lots of foreground distraction and soft focus). Kuchar even references JVS’s Anatahan with the tactic of using silver-painted foliage, maximizing the shimmering cinematic gawdiness.
