Criterion Channel November


Out of the Blue has been annoyingly absent from the streaming world as far as I've been able to tell. It popped up on Tubi very briefly last year, but left before I had a chance to watch.

But it looks like the Criterion Channel will have it streaming for at least November.

Sometimes they only add films for a month, so if you've been pining to be depressed by this miserable movie like me, catch it sooner rather than later, maybe.

Out of the Blue
Dennis Hopper’s hurricane-force domestic tragedy is the ’80s answer to Easy Rider, following troubled youth subculture to its frightening, screaming, self-annihilating extreme. Just out of prison for drunk-driving his truck into a school bus, delinquent dad Don (Dennis Hopper) returns home to the planet’s most messed up family: heroin-addict wife Kathy (Sharon Farrell) and self-destructive, Elvis Presley– and Sid Vicious–obsessed rebel-punk daughter Cebe (Linda Manz), whose mantra is “disco sucks, kill all hippies.” Driven by the teenage Manz’s stunningly raw performance, Out of the Blue shocked audiences upon its premiere and in the ensuing decades has lost none of its furiously nihilistic power.
