Splendor in the Grass | David Amram and Doug Yeager
Conversation between David Amram and Doug Yeager in the context of the film screening / Moderation: Wolfgang Knapp (ZKM)
[20.10.2021]
David Amram returns! To celebrate his 90th birthday, the ZKM showed the Hollywood classic »Splendor in the Grass«, for which he wrote the score.
The 1961 U.S. feature film »Splendor in the Grass« by Elia Kazan tells the tragic love story of Wilma Dean and Bud Stamper. Set in a small town in Kansas in 1928, their love is hindered by bourgeois morals, family expectations and different origins. Rejection, self-discovery, as well as turning away from one's parents' home play a crucial role, referencing the »coming-of-age« genre. Winner of the Photoplay Award, three Golden Globe nominations and many other awards, the film is considered a classic in American film history and helped the young actress Natalie Wood to her breakthrough.
The screening was followed by a light-hearted conversation between David Amram and manager, producer and filmmaker Doug Yeager.
