Reverse Shot

Flashback is a Flash in the Pan Last week Dennis Hopper appeared on the David Letterman show to promote the movie Flashback. He sported a slick, pinstripe suit and an attitude one would expect more from a rich car dealership owner than from an actor whose roles in such films as Easy Rider. Apocalypse Now. The American Friend, and Blue Velvet have made him into Hollywood's favorite counter-mainstream star. Hopper was unable to respond to Letterman's chidings that his new style made him a sellout. Flashback also does not offer much proof to refute Letterman's charges. Despite what appear to be some good intentions on the part of the director Franco Amurri, as he tries to wrestle with the relation- ship between 60's and 80's cultural attitudes, the film never manages . greai;> Dipuguy to move beyond the most stereotypical representations of each of these periods in American history.
