DESCRIPTION
'It's Monopoly out there'. Jason Staebler, The King of Marvin Gardens, has gone directly to jail, lives on the Boardwalk and fronts for the local mob in Atlantic City. He is also a dreamer who asks his brother, David, a radio personality from Philadelphia to help him build a paradise on a Pacific Island - asking him to believe in yet another of his dreams, yet another of his get-rich-quick schemes. But luck is against them both and the game ends badly - real life reduced to radio drama.
Sinopsis by IMDBThe King of Marvin Gardens is an American crime film first released on 12th October 1972, directed by Bob Rafelson. The film is based on a story by Bob Rafelson and stars Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Ellen Burstyn, Julia Anne Robinson and Scatman Crothers.
Irresistible. It was a bitterly odd pic that offered an Atlantic City scenario that had no saltwater taffy to sweeten the taste.
Treat yourself to a re-released gem of the American new wave with an astonishing performance from a young Jack Nicholson.
American film-maker Bob Rafelson has just celebrated his 80th birthday, and you couldn't give him or yourself a nicer present than to see this marvellous film, now restored and re-released: The King of Marvin Gardens (1972). Like his Five Easy Pieces (1970), it stars Jack Nicholson giving a performance of melancholy, introspective subtlety that will astonish those who only know about the grinning "old devil" Nicholson, recently to be seen on TV flirting with Jennifer Lawrence. The other glory of this movie is that it shows us what a great actor Bruce Dern is, matching Nicholson in charisma and presence. Nicholson is David, a gloomy talk-show host in Philadelphia, regaling his listeners with long, literary monologues about his life. Jason (Dern) is David's estranged brother, a hustler and shady wheeler-dealer who needs David to come to Atlantic City to bail him out of prison. He then tries to interest him in a mob-related real-estate scam and even involve him in his romantic situation. Jason is dating former beauty queen Sally, played by the excellent Ellen Burstyn – but perhaps David would be interested in Sally's beautiful daughter Jessica, played by Julia Anne Robinson. The wintry Atlantic City is brilliantly evoked; the firecracker dialogue is a joy, and the final, chaotic denouement is genuinely unexpected. This is another neglected gem from the American new wave that has to be cherished.
An irresistible morality study about brothers trying to connect even though they are opposites and have lost touch with each other over the years. The title is derived from the Monopoly game, as the film is set in the same Atlantic City that provided the original street names for the game board.
Bruce Dern,Oscar contender 2014.
Not everybody's cup of tea,it's the kind of film you want to walk out of, and then when it's over you want to see it again.
