American Graffiti
Directed by George Lucas
1973
★ 7.3 editorial score
One night of cruising in 1962, with the radio playing wall to wall from start to finish: Lucas caught an America that was about to stop existing.
“It isn’t the age of the characters that matters; it’s the time they inhabited. Whole cultures and societies have passed since 1962. "American Graffiti" is not only a great movie but a brilliant work of historical fiction; no sociological treatise could duplicate the movie’s success in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant.”
