Blu-ray Review – Foxes

1980's "Foxes" is a film trapped in the middle of two colliding eras. It's a disco movie facing the sobering reality of a new decade, trying to capture the voice of a generation while it's still in transition. The directorial debut for Adrian Lyne (who, amazingly, hasn't made a picture since 2002's "Unfaithful"), "Foxes" is more appreciable as a time capsule viewing event, depicting days of wayward youth in Los Angeles as they battle vampiric parents and personal demons on the road to adulthood. As a drama, it's not a cohesive effort, with Lyne showing more interest in the perfection of cinematographic haze than characterization, gradually depending on melodrama and crude violence to make sure the audience walks away woozy. Great with surface details but light with significance, the feature doesn't open the senses as Lyne imagines, but there's periodic emotional value on display that makes it worth a look.
