Shampoo Blu-Ray   Criterion Collection

Shampoo gives us a day in the life of George (Warren Beatty), a Beverly Hills hairdresser and lothario who runs around town on the eve of the 1968 presidential election trying to make heads or tails of his financial and romantic entanglements. His attempts to scrape together the money to open his own salon are continually sidetracked by the distractions presented by his lovers - played brilliantly by Goldie Hawn, Julie Christy, and Lee Grant (in an Oscar-winning performance). Beatty dreamed up the project, co-wrote the script with ROobert Towne (Chinatown), and enlisted Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude) as director, and the resulting carousel of doomed relationships is an essential seventies farce, a sharp look back at the sexual politics and self-absorption of the preceding decade.
