The Criterion Collection’s release of 'Risky Business' invites a reevaluation of 1980s cinema, suggesting it harbors deeper artistic merit than often recognized.
Watching 'Risky Business' again as an adult revealed a masterpiece of American cinema, revealing far more artistry and insight into its cultural and political moment.
'Risky Business’ is a document of American teenage malaise in the Reagan Era, where characters are often only defined by their consumerist abilities.
The film reflects the insistent drive of American capitalism, with characters molded by their roles in the economic culture of their time.
