SHAMPOO

Description:

A dramedy with a bitter, cynical edge, SHAMPOO follows a vapid hairdresser who sleeps his way through 1968 Beverly Hills on Election Night is both very much of its time and completely timeless. As scripted by Warren Beatty and Robert Towne, SHAMPOO is a film that's full of contradictions and all subtext - its beautiful veneer hiding something less pretty beneath the surface. With a superb ensemble including Beatty, Goldie Hawn, Julie Christie, Jack Warden, and a sublime, Oscar-winning Lee Grant, SHAMPOO is a smart slice of American filmmaking with a refreshing lack of suds.
