A real film guy. These dudes are gone forever...

LOVE Toback! the true maverick spirit of the 70s era has been totally snuffed out. Monte Hellman,Schrader, Roeg, T. Malick,B. Rafelson,Henry Jaglom,Milton M. Ginsberg,S. Fuller,K. Russell,Herzog. Certainly all produced flawed, uneven work, yet totally unique and highly personal and their high points stand alongside the best cinema has ever produced.Toback comes from a singular era in film history that is being quickly forgotten,and thanks to dvd's young folks can rediscover their inherent worth!

I really like this film, too. Classy, quirky thriller--quirky like Fingers. Perhaps an aesthetic failure, but like a failed French art film--i.e., worth seeing anyway. I really like all the scenes where Nureyev and Kinski are together. And Kinski's solitary dance! Great.

thanks so much for posting this fascinating

interview with toback. (he seems a lot like the character he portrays in the film.) i love this crazy, flawed movie. even with its pretentious "terrorist chic" overlay. just when you think you've figured it out, Exposed changes again. prof/pupil sex gone sour turns into family estrangement to little girl lost in the big city to world-wide modeling fame, love with a terrorist hunter and ends with bloodshed on the battlefields of paris. wow.
