One Potato, Two Potato Review/Video
I am a classic movie fan. There is something about some of the older movies that keeps my attention more than today's flicks. One Potato, Two Potato is one of them. It is a dramatic movie that is still something for today, an ongoing debate for some.
Recently it was reshown at the Cannes Film Festival. After being shown there, I am hoping AMC will pick it up for tv viewers.
MODESTLY conceived and executed by a pair of movie tyros and cheered and honored at the recent Cannes Film Festival, "One Potato, Two Potato," which arrived yesterday at the Murray Hill, Embassy and other theaters, deserves its accolades and yet, like life itself, disturbingly shows its imperfections.
In simply mirroring cancerous injustices stemming from an interracial marriage, a terrible quandary is starkly, if patly, pictured. Gnawing doubts remain after the film's climactic decision is made, but this festering problem of our flawed society, which could have been depicted sordidly and sensationally, is, instead, often made moving in basically honest terms.
