It's very tricky to make a movie that is so much of its time yet doesn't feel dated, but "Modern Romance" achieves that - it just bleeds early Eighties, for those of us who lived through that time, but it's aged a lot better than something like "On Golden Pond" or "Chariots of Fire." I suppose that's the difference between making a film whose subject is thoroughly steeped in a time period, and making one whose techniques are steeped in that period.
