1961美国剧情片《药头》由雪莉·克拉克导演,Jackie Mclean主演,影片讲述的是:
THE CONNECTION is one of the most vital fascinating films of the American independent world Created by a woman director Shirley Clarke at a time when they were in very short supply the film shattered stereotypes in just about every conceivable way And yet the film remained unseen for many years
The Connection was a play within a play within a jazz concert It portrayed a group of drug addicts some of them jazz musicians waiting in a New York loft apartment for their drug connection A producer and a writer meanwhile have entered their lives to study them and write a play about them The brilliantly written Beat dialogue was blended with jazz music written by the great pianist Freddie Redd
Clarke changed the character of the writer to Jim Dunn a young preppy filmmaker out to make a name for himself by documenting the scene As Clarke was best friends with the hot new indie directors she added a level of humor by poking fun at the cinema verité movement She also chose to keep the plays oneset constriction but she combined the French New Wave’s mobile camera with a whirling choreography of movement and jazz to create an exciting kinetic film that was acclaimed at the Cannes International Film Festival as a masterpiece Yet even knowing the avant garde nature of the play and her film little could Clarke recognize the furor the film was about to create
