  • Summary

  • Director Hal Ashby's first film is a clear prototype for what he has to come with films like Being There, Shampoo, & Harold and Maude, all satires with a focus on class inequality. The Landlord is a brilliant portrayal of upper classes whites gentrifying a Black neighborhood in Brooklyn, essentially looking into Prospect Park's actual future. Dan and Jon celebrate its place in cinema history and theorize how it could be reenvisioned today, years after life imitated art.
