Starring Keith Carradine, Linda Fiorentino, Genevieve Bujold,Geraldine Chaplin, Wallace Shawn and John Lone, The Moderns is 'tantalizing unabashedly romantic [and] a glowing evocation of an era (The Hollywood Reporter)! Paris, 1926. A time whenanything could happen and usually did. At the center of this world is Nick Hart (Carradine), a struggling painter who makes a meager living drawing caricatures at his favorite café. Nick longs for success and even agrees to forge masterpieces for a wealthy divorcée (Chaplin). But what he really desires is Rachel (Fiorentino), the seductive wife of an obsessively jealousand lethally dangerous businessman (Lone). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Miss the subtitlesI love this movie and my only issue is that the VCR version, subtitled when the characters spoke French - some very amusing asides are lost in the DVD version because the French is not subtitled. Otherwise, I can't recommend it enough. Rating:  - Call Me Old FashionedNick Hart (Keith Carradine) is a pretentious American artist who lives amongst the expatriate community in 1920s Paris.

I love the guy who is supposed to be hemingway. Are you serious? Rating: - A Brittle Film About Paris In The 1920'sDirector Alan Rudolph's "The Moderns" is all about Paris in the 1920's and captures the cafe society, the American expatriates, the artists and the pretentiousness and shallowness of the times. Keith Carradine is an American artist who cannot make a living and is obsessed with Rachel (Linda Fiorentino) who is married to a boorish businessman Bert Stone (John Lone) who has made his fortune in condoms. The plot has enough surprises to keep you interested most of the time, although the film, for all its ...
