Garv’s Pick of the Week: Shampoo (Criterion)
For the release week of October 16th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Shampoo [Blu-ray / Criterion]: The great humanist director Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude, Being There) teamed with writer Robert Towne (Chinatown) and producer Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde) to create this 1975 comedy/drama. I’ve never seen it, but I’m looking forward to filling that cinematic blind spot.
