Episode 309: The Eyes of Laura Mars (August 1978)
We watched a movie that Amity never heard of before and it lead to some weird tangents – a serial killer movie with a unique point of view – join us for 1978’s The Eyes of Laura Mars.
Once Amity got past her disdain for the theme song, this watch was smooth sailing. Listen through the violent murder, a treatise on what is art even, a discussion of can we divide the art from the artist – and should we – and a quaint 70’s notion that photography isn’t even art to begin with. We get a very young Tommy Lee Jones, a fluffy haired Rene Auberjonois, a surprisingly sexy Brad Dourif, and an astoundingly unsexy Raul Julia, and we see it all through Faye Dunnaway’s enormous and expressive eyes.
