One from the Heart
is a romantic comedy, a break-up story told through music and set amidst
the neon glitter of Las Vegas on a Fourth of July weekend. The film's
influence can still be seen widely in cinema today - its visual style
being a recurring theme throughout the work of Baz Luhrmann, who discusses
his love for the film in a new interview featured on the Home
Entertainment release. Damian Chazelle's
La La Land, too, is not only a spiritual follow up to the film but was also shot on
the very same studio lot.
Starring Frederic Forrest (The Conversation, Falling Down), Teri Garr (Tootsie, Close Encounters of The Third Kind), Raul Julia (Kiss of The Spider Woman, The Addams Family), Nastassja Kinski (Tess, Paris, Texas), Lainie Kazan (Beaches, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and
Harry Dean Stanton (Alien, The Green Man), the film boasts an iconic soundtrack by Tom Waits featuring
Waits and vocalist Crystal Gayle, which was nominated for Best
Soundtrack at the Oscars®, and choreography by none other than the
legendary Gene Kelly.
