Taking Off / La gå!
Milos Forman • Lynn Carlin, Buck Henry, Georgia Engel, Tony Harvey
Milos Forman's first American film got rave reviews back in 1971 from The New York Times, Newsday and New Yorker Magazine but today it's practically a "lost" film! This overlooked comedy / drama has straight-laced parents Buck Henry and Lynne Carlin trying to find their runaway teen daughter. In the process they get to experience some sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. A great time capsule of 70's life. Look for Ike & Tina Turner as well!
