Little Murders

Jules Feiffer’s delicious, satiric screenplay—based on his original play—tells the story of the unexpected courtship of a devoutly apathetic New Yorker (brilliantly played by Elliot Gould) and the optimistic materialist who can’t live without him (deftly acted by Marcia Rodd). Throughout this 1970s New York summer, we witness the unlikely couple coping with obscene phone calls, rusty water pipes, blackouts, paranoia, and ethnic-racial conflict. Alan Arkin’s directorial debut will unnerve and keep you laughing, sometimes uneasily, until the final credits roll.
