A movie that explores one of my greatest fears: having no cash at a restaurant that doesn't take credit cards

KarstenApr 4, 2017Not really a review of this movie but RIP Jonathan Demme all the same. There is a wonderful moment in Something Wild, Jonathan Demme’s freewheeling screwball road movie and just about my favourite movie of all time, in which our newly cut-loose yuppie hero, Charles Driggs…

Something Wild is quite a movie. Demme is a master of finding the bizarre in the ordinary.
