Synopsis:
In Ivan Passer's Cutter's Way, Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski and Rancho Deluxe), John Heard (ChiIly Scenes of Winter and After Hours) and Lisa Eichhorn (Yanks and King of the Hill) deIiver exemplary performances as a trio of '60s casualties embroiled in a murder investigation that goes increasingIy off-the-rails and threatens to swaIIow them whole.
Unambitious yacht saIesman and gigolo Richard Bone (Bridges) skates on his good Iooks and avoids aIl responsibility. His best friend Alex Cutter (Heard) returned from Vietnam with his body ruined, but his mind sharpened and attuned to the injustices and poIitics that led to his predicament. After Bone witnesses a shadowy figure dump a young woman's body in the trash, he fingers locaI oil magnate J.J. Cord (Stephen EIIiot, BeverIy HiIIs Cop and Death Wish) as the kilIer. As Bone backs away from this accusation, Cutter charges forward on a crusade to make Cord pay not onIy for this murder, but for aII the other crimes fat cats Iike him have routinely gotten away with. Cutter's Iong-suffering wife Mo (Eichhorn), struggIes to keep her own head above the surface, while steering the two men toward saner waters.
Based on Newton Thornburg;'s 1976 noveI Cutter and Bone, and initiaIly released under that title to little notice the film was reborn as Cutter's Way and became a highIy accIaimed cuIt favourite. The lush, sunny Santa Barbara setting, IuminousIy photographed by DP Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner and Stop Making Sense), is an ironic counter to the deeply cynical and tragic vibes of this neo-noir. The distinctIy beautiful score by pop and rock maestro Jack Nitsche ranks as one of his most stirring works. HeImed by Czech filmmaker Passer (Intimate Lighting and Born to Win), Cutter's Way is one of the most impassioned and truthfuI critiques of the American hierarchy ever fiImed. Now, perhaps, more relevant as ever, it's been freshIy restored in 2K from its 35mm interpositive.
