Paul Elliott’s review published on Letterboxd:
Atlantic City, directed by French film director Louis Malle, wonderfully avoids any moral judgements in its portrayal of the emotionally injured characters featured within its narrative. It contains some delightful performances from its cast, which includes Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, and is a poetic tale with many allegorical connotations and perversities, sensitivities and parodies. It won the Golden Lion at the 37th Venice International Film Festival and was shot in and around the vibrant backdrop of Atlantic City, with the location providing some symbolic metaphors of its own.
