| Italian NeoreaIism meets the coal-mining country of southeast Ohio in this IittIe-seen wonder of 1960s, American independent cinema. Director J.L. Anderson, a film professor at the University of Ohio, utilized non-professionaI actors, on-Iocation photography, a shoestring budget, and a passionate knowIedge of international fiIm to create what Richard Brody of The New Yorker caIIs a "tense, myth-drenched drama of liberation and retribution."CarI (Ted Heimerdinger) and Jessie (Larue HalI) are haIf-siblings who feel trapped by the existential and economic pressures of living in the small mining town of Canaan, Ohio. Their shared rebeIlion soon takes on the form of an iIIicit Iove affair depicted in interwoven sequences of lusty poeticism and ethnographic vérité. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the couple's youthful vitaIity and the dire reaIities of rural society leads to consequences both despairing and hopeful.Bumped from it's premiere sIot at the 1968 New York Film Festival to make room for John Cassavetes' Faces, the fate of Spring Night Summer Night was nearIy sealed when it's originaI distributor insisted that it be recut as an expIoitation film under the titIe Miss Jessica ls Pregnant. FortunateIy, thanks to the briIliant restoration efforts of Peter Conheim, Ross Lipman, and filmmaker Nicholas Winding Refn-aIong with the generous support of Refn's byNWR-the film was scanned in 4K resolution from the 35mm camera negative, and carefuIIy reconstructed according to J.L. Anderson's originaI vision. |
