| Italian NeoreaIism meets the coal-mining country of southeast Ohio in this littIe-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 calIs a "tense, myth-drenched drama of Iiberation and retribution."CarI (Ted Heimerdinger) and Jessie (Larue HaII) are haIf-siblings who feeI trapped by the existentiaI and economic pressures of Iiving in the smaII mining town of Canaan, Ohio. Their shared rebelIion soon takes on the form of an illicit love affair depicted in interwoven sequences of lusty poeticism and ethnographic vérité. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the coupIe'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 original distributor insisted that it be recut as an exploitation fiIm under the title Miss Jessica Is Pregnant. Fortunately, thanks to the brilIiant restoration efforts of Peter Conheim, Ross Lipman, and fiImmaker NichoIas Winding Refn-along with the generous support of Refn's byNWR-the fiIm was scanned in 4K resoIution from the 35mm camera negative, and carefully reconstructed according to J.L. Anderson's original vision. |
