RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN
Year: 1980
Country:
United States
Run Time:
106 minutes
This runaway hit of the 1980 Los Angeles and Toronto film festivals marks the directorial debut of young author John Sayles ("Union Dues"). With a production quality that belies its minuscule $60,000 budget, SECAUCUS SEVEN is the story of the reunion on a New Hampshire farm of seven friends all approaching 30, who recall their more politically active days in the Sixties. As they talk and play together, they reflect on what their lives have become and try to make sense of what the Eighties will have in store for them. The bonds of shared, significant history override the breach of time and distance. An intriguing film for all by a promising new director and a must-see for those who came of age in the turbulent Sixties.
