Sweet Revenge (1976)
9/10
Another obscure gem.

Warning: Spoilers
Yes, this film involves fancy cars, but don't expect any crazy rides, well, maybe just one in the end, and even that is pretty short.

'Sweet revenge' tells the tale of a young woman who wants to live life her own way, and owning a particular sports car epitomizes this. Even though it is ultimately a material goal, the irresistibly charming Stockard Channing convinced me that Vurrla Kowsky has her heart in the right place. The tale is ultimately a bleak one, but thanks to Channing and the apt hands of Jerry Schatzberg, there is a glimmer of positivity shining all the way through. Well, maybe not for fancy-car lovers - this should count a warning for them; watch at your own risk!

Another thoroughly enjoyable film from the '70s, with lingo, characters and colours to match. 9 out of 10.
