O Lucky Man! (1973)

dir: Lindsay Anderson

This sprawling, surrealist musical serves as an allegory for the pitfalls of capitalism, as it follows the adventures of a young coffee salesman in Europe. Many actors play multiple roles, giving the film a stagy tone.

This movie struck me as uneven. Some of its unconventionalities are quite clever or charming, others are far too arch (the blackface, the "naughty" judge) and some just seem pointless (the musical Alan Price sequences). The overwhelming cynicism would have been fresh to me as a younger man, but now I don't have much patience for it. However, the comedy helps it go down easier, and it's reasonably entertaining. What really saves it is McDowell, who has such extraordinary presence and charisma.

One of the weirdest, original and "free" movies I've seen.
