On this week’s episode of The Filmography, Bjorn Olson and I take a deep dive into Paul Schrader’s adaptation of Russell Banks’ harrowing account of the fallout from an abusive father-son relationship, featuring Oscar-nominated turns from Nick Nolte (who has only ever been better in Neil Jordan’s “The Good Thief“), and James Coburn. As the abusive father, Coburn won the Oscar.
