- Dennis Hopper's under-seen masterpiece, Out of the Blue, is one of the saddest films in American cinema. Linda Manz delivers a fantastic performance as CeBe, a tragic character trapped in a life she cannot control.

I just watched it. Definitely one of tje more effective movies I've seen since "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer." R.I.P., Linda Manz.
Yo vi Henry ...
“What kind of legacy would the men of easy rider leave behind for their families?” Is a helluva relevant question these days, no wonder this feels so fresh.
Someone left a VHS copy of this film at the first punk house I lived in in my early 20’s. We watched it at least once a week. Eventually it reached it’s demise at the hands of a faulty VCR. I absolutely love this film, and it has inspired much of my own art, from music to film, from prose to flyer art for punk shows we put on in those days. I’m glad to hear it got re-released. I hope to one day make a film that is a even a fraction as meaningful as Out Of The Blue. Thank you for making this video.
I waited months for my pre-order, and was not disappointed. The 4K restoration on UHD is stunning. Linda Manz should have been a star.
Her 1997: David Fincher’s The Game and Harmony Korine’s GUMMO.
Probably my favourite unseen masterpiece of a film. The breakdown of the American family through the destructive mind of a teenage girl.
unfortunately you're right, very few people have seen this movie. it was released the year i was born, but i only just recently discovered it. i thought it was fantastic and very unique. there's nothing else quite like it. i'd highly recommend it.
An incredible film. Linda Manz, in this film and Days of Heaven, is stunning. Hopper and Malick knew how to direct her and let her do her thing (her narration in Days? Too much!). Sad she died young.
It’s so surprising to see her show up in GUMMO and The Game. Wish she had been in more stuff, but she was apparently much more interested in doing her own thing.
Saw this in the theatre last year because of Natasha Lyonne. She chose it for a special screening and did a q&a afterwards. I had no idea what I was walking into and this film absolutely rocked me.
That sounds like a cool experience
Thank you, ill be seeking out, Out of the blue. I like your channel because it isn't about the films we've all seen or heard of. I love finding films ive never seen that are worthwhile seeing , and im going through a 70s period at the moment, (i know it was made in 1980 ) anything raw or gritty is up my street. So I'm grateful.
If anyone in here is in the LA area, they are doing a screening of this Friday night (6/28/24) at Vidiots in Eagle Rock
Heck yes
Brutal movie. Dennis could certainly be dark at times.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE
I remeber watching this around Tumblr days like 2016, it was around the Harmonie Corine, Chloe Seveny, Gummo art days for me. But I can remember the title song and story was so sad and rang in my head for months.. I then just remembered how it ended 😣
In my all-time favorites, top 5...
City Lights
Casablanca
Last Tango In Paris
La Strada
And Out Of The Blue.
It stands way out on that list. it's a hard movie for many to watch. But it's a masterpiece.
this is a film that i want to see for so many years as i've first heard about it from the primal scream album "XTRMNTR" as it used linda manz's voice from the film film as a sample. i've heard so many things about it as it's a shame linda manz didn't do a lot of movies but "days of heaven", "gummo", and "the game" is a body of work any actor would kill for.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Yes the composition isn’t the best but the story is more powerful and revelatory than many others. Also… kids from broken homes just know lol….
Actually I've seen in twice once at Hyde Park cinema Leeds in 1992 and more recently on RUclips. Great movie anyway thanks for highlighting it.
Good taste!
this film is one of my 'beloved' movie i ever seen
We were planning to watch Easy Rider but someone discouraged me by saying that the movie is not interesting and it just had the benefit of releasing at the right time. Now I feel that I missed something. I will check it out.
They aren't wrong that it benefited from the right time to be released but it's anything but uninteresting. But so many years away from that release we have to take into account the baggage that came making the movie, hopper took equipment from a film lot hit the road and just made a movie about the so called american dream and the faluire of the hippy movement, it was raw fresh experimental but messy and undisciplined. To sum it all up for better and for worse it was a f*ck you to what came before from a new voice but it had enough sense not to spoon feed it's intended audience it's as much a hard look at the left as much as the right , something we lack in films now.
I was in love with her when I was a kid.
As far as I can see, those strange things made of bamboo that should represent cinematographic equipment are very similar to the things done on so many places, mainly islands that were visited in the Pacific by the military of the USA, and where the so-called "Cargo cult" was developed. In short, those people in underdeveloped surroundings became accustomed to the idea that the US military was bringing to them all sorts of thongs that were in no way available to them, that after the end of the war, when the military stopped bringing stuff, those tribes builder elaborate planes, airstrips, wooden guns thinking that by emulating what the USA military had, they will come back and bring those things. So, as I understood the cinematographic industry in the town was over, and maybe people made those cameras and microphones out of bamboo for the same reason...cargo cult.
Cargo cult is one of my favorite historical anecdotes to use when people are following rules they don’t understand or question. Excellent insight!
And I never thought to use the phenomenon of "Cargo cult" as a good example for such people... that is a good use of that bizarre sociological phenomenon. Thanks for a good analogy that I can use to describe people who are blindly dogmatic and follow rules but never ask why is that, what purpose that serves.
Easily one of the best blind buys I've ever bought. I remember seeing easy rider years before but it didn't make much of an impression to me (I owe it a rewatch), though I did like it. Just reading the synopsis on the back of the box made me interested.
I was not prepared for what this was. A incredible, devastating and bleak film.
I've never heard of this film before, but I'll definitely seek it out. Reminds me of European socio/class-conflict movies.
sooo sad
Easy Rider - I watched this as a kid/teen and just thought is was depressing nonsense.
You may appreciate it more now
How is easy rider a movie "you've probably never seen"? It's not some fringe movie. It literally changed how Hollywood worked! For good.
The video isn’t about Easy Rider. Easy Rider is framed in this video as part of the context for Out of the Blue, Dennis Hopper’s third film as a director.
Bruh
You literally just watched the first minute and decided to shoot your mouth off, didn’t you? Lmao.
Lmaooook
this is why you watch the video before commenting 😅
