More American Graffiti*     

(US 1979)                                             

The collection of California teenagers from American Graffiti try to cope with a more disorderly adult life in around the 1960s and the Vietnam war.
Underrated sequel set innovatively across four separate New Year's Days in different filmic ratios representing the different plights of the various characters. It died a death commercially, perhaps because the sentimentality of the original film and the subsequent success of Happy Days were what America wanted to see more of, rather than darker revisions.

MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI. Practically a forgotten sequel, made in between the phenomenal success Lucasfilm's first two Star Wars films, but not without merit including use of different styles of filmmaking including split screen images reminiscent of the 1960s, with one very famous face from the original cast making a brief appearance. Also pictured: Candy Clark and John Lansing.
