When they talk about scoring his picture, Hudson says
something like "I'll just get some old spade with a guitar to
do the music..." Later, they show this old black guy laying
down these raunchy distorted John Lee Hooker licks, as he
watches and scores the truck's bearing down on the girl --
and it's chilling and powerful.
The book is almost surreal in its black comedy. The movie
uses campy lounge and salsa music and black and white
photography to capture its spirit.
Highly recommended from this camp ...
