Mar 24, 2021

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is an absolute triumph of feel good comedy and an all out classic of late 80s cinema.

Between it's infectiously likable leads (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) and absolutely ridiculous travelling-through-history plot, Excellent Adventure is one of those films that can easily be enjoyed by an audience of all age groups. It's certainly of it's time when it comes to its soundtrack and avalanche of pop culture references, but over 30 years later this proves to be one of its many charms. (Apart from the unfortunate use of a homophobic slur that wouldn't fly by today's standards)

All in all, Excellent Adventure is a wonderful whole heap of fun that's become one of my ultimate comfort films. Most bodacious indeed.

"Eric Rohmer may be underrated as a director. His films are rightly known for their endless talking, and for their intricate, ambiguity-filled exploration of contemporary romance and relationships. Yet he is also a precise and inventive director. His deceptively straightforward films are rich and cinematic: every cut, every decision to shoot in long shot or shot–reverse shot, and every object, costume, and piece of furniture reveals something about the emotional and intellectual subtext. Filmed in lush, crisp black and white, during a snowy Parisian winter, by the great Nestor Almendros, this is the most beautiful of Rohmer’s films. And the good news is that in order to obtain this film, you’ll have to get the astonishing box set Six Moral Tales."
