Sam Shepard [4] doesn’t appear in Paris, Texas [5] (1984), but his fingerprints are all over it. His dramas specialize in American families coming apart under the weight of spiritual emptiness.
[3] Sam Shepard [4] doesn’t appear in Paris, Texas [5] (1984), but his fingerprints are all over it. His dramas specialize in American families coming apart under the weight of spiritual emptiness.
[7] From the moment Sam Shepard [8] first appeared on the screen in Terrence Malick’s [9] turn-of-the-century folk-epic Days of Heaven [10] (1978), audiences recognized something special.
[12] Today hardly anyone recognizes the name of Terence Young [13], director of 1967’s Wait Until Dark [14], a nerve-wracking crime yarn about a blind woman who is tormented in her basement apartment by a gang of nasty drug smugglers.
[16] For at least two generations of moviegoers, Sam Shepard [4] has been recognized simply as an actor. But there’s a whole lot more to the man.
[18] If the British Shaun of the Dead represents the zomcom as high-end satire of social mores, the American Zombieland [19] is simply pure unadulterated fun.
