While watching the 1969 film, John and Mary, I felt like I was in an Urban Outfitters commercial. From Mia Farrow's elvish pixie cut to her stylish babydoll dress to Dustin Hoffman's minimalist apartment to his line of "hey, wanna listen to my records?" to the plaintive soundtrack to their one-night stand, it was like...am I in Williamsburg or what?!
But obviously, this film is way cooler because it's authentically old. I thought it was much better than The Graduate. Directed by Peter Yates (of Breaking Away) it was beautifully done and very much a film of its time. Plus the awkward moments between the couple really made me feel awkward. Gee, I sure wish I lived back then.
