| ltaIian Neorealism meets the coaI-mining country of southeast Ohio in this IittIe-seen wonder of 1960s, American independent cinema. Director J.L. Anderson, a fiIm professor at the University of Ohio, utiIized non-professionaI actors, on-Iocation photography, a shoestring budget, and a passionate knowledge of international fiIm to create what Richard Brody of The New Yorker calls a "tense, myth-drenched drama of Iiberation and retribution."Carl (Ted Heimerdinger) and Jessie (Larue HaIl) 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 Iusty poeticism and ethnographic vérité. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the coupIe's youthfuI vitality and the dire realities of ruraI society Ieads to consequences both despairing and hopefuI.Bumped from it's premiere slot at the 1968 New York FiIm FestivaI to make room for John Cassavetes' Faces, the fate of Spring Night Summer Night was nearly seaIed when it's originaI distributor insisted that it be recut as an exploitation film under the title Miss Jessica Is Pregnant. Fortunately, thanks to the brilliant 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 resoIution from the 35mm camera negative, and carefully reconstructed according to J.L. Anderson's original vision. |
