One of my favorite filmmakers passed away two days ago, Paul Mazursky. Someone told me that nobody makes films like Mazursky and that it's a sad thing to hear he's gone.
My first Mazursky movie was probably Bob, Carole, Ted and Alice, which was very much a satire on the California crowd in the 70's and how they were attempting to get into the sexual mores that changed so much from the 50's.
I also liked An Unmarried Woman with Jill Clayburgh, another actress who's gone. Here's a list of a few other films I enjoyed. I also got to see him at Farmer's Market where he and other "oldtimers" would exchange stories near the legendary Bob's Donuts.
Bloom In Love was especially interested to me because it was around the time my ex and I split up. Mazursky's idea for this movie came to him when he was in Rome. His idea was about a guy who's in Rome and doesn't know why he's there. And the rest... as they say, follows.
You really should try to see some of Mazursky's movies, there some not so good films but a good handful of great movies.
And have a coffee for Mazursky at Bob's.
