A Hero of Our Time (1985): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming
1985 · Film
Released in 1985, A Hero of Our Time is a notable film directed by Michael Almereyda, running about 28 minutes.
What it’s about. Loosely based on a section of Mikhail Lermontov's classic Russian novel of the same title, the film involves a displaced cowboy (played by Kevin Jarre, the screenwriter of Rambo), a sociopathic record producer (Dennis Hopper) and, caught between them, a gum-chewing valley girl who would rather be somewhere else (Natalie Zimmerman). Lermontov's 19th century novel leaves a vapor trail on the action, but A Hero of Our Time is more precisely a portrait of contemporary Los Angeles, a tale of wayward heroism played out against a landscape of yearning and desolation. Director/writer Michael Almereyda, whose screenplay for Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World will be produced this year, completed principal photography for A Hero of Our Time in October of 1985. Dennis Hopper's participation occurred during a break in the filming of Blue Velvet.
Who’s in it. A Hero of Our Time stars Dennis Hopper as Casey, Kevin Jarre as Peck, Albert Hall as Airport Kid and Mina Johnson as Lisa, among others.
