Unfinished Business (1984)

The only reason I watched this film was because I heard that Patrica Cullen had created the score for it.  Patrica Cullen is the composer who made the spectacular score for Rock & Rule, one of my favorite films.  Patrica Cullen died, or was murdered, only a few years after creating the score for Rock & Rule, and I have always hoped she would get some recognition, and perhaps a recording of her works would be released.

The film itself is a Canadian production, which you don't see to many of, but it is a bit of an odd film.

The film follows character named Izzy, who lives with her divorced mother, who is trying to make sure that Izzy study for her upcoming finals, but Izzy becomes detracted, and begins to take her life in a different direction.

One thing that really stood out to me, is that Izzy is attracted to Jessie 'Fixit', who has a white walls hair cut, which seems really odd, and out of date.  I have only seen such a hair cut on Marty's father in the 1950's scenes in Back to the Future.  Jessie also wear some odd 'overalls' which appear to have a skirt and the bottom, though Izzy's father refers to Jessie's clothing as a dress.

The film also features a group called Parachute Club, which I have never heard of, but it appears their song "Rise' and has been used for a number of campaigns and causes.

Even odder, there is a scene which shows his friends, who have even odder haircuts then does.

The film is a sequel to the 1964 Canadian film Nobody Waved Goodbye, from 20 years earlier, making that film a required addition to my must view list.
