Cutter’s Way (1981) – director Ivan Passer’s and screenwriter Jeffrey Alan Fiskin’s slashing adaptation of Newton Thornburg’s novel, Cutter and Bone – provides a devastating look at post-Vietnam, post-Watergate America, as exemplified by its trio of damaged protagonists: a slightly dim beach-boy gigolo (Jeff Bridges), a ferocious disabled veteran (John Heard), and the cynical, alcoholic young woman (Lisa Eichhorn) they both love. All three actors are nothing short of combustive here, in a dark tale (set against a gorgeously sunny Santa Barbara) about the attempt to pin a murder on a fat-cat plutocrat (Stephen Elliott) – who may, in fact, be guilty.

"Note-perfect, sun-splashed neo-noir thriller…structured around a profoundly dysfunctional trio brought to vivid life by consummate character players…For once, the word is appropriate: masterpiece.”
– John Patterson, The Guardian
“Feels like a farewell to the ’70s…a tale of friendship, endurance, and loss, and one of the saddest movies ever made…nothing less than a modern masterpiece, and a film ripe for rediscovery.”
– Tom Huddleston, Time Out London
