Show Notes
Claudia Moreno Parsons joins us for an exploration of Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders (1983).Based on S.E. Hinton's 1967 novel about working class teen "greasers" in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Outsiders is a searing take on the rigidity of class in America that resists the easy answers of other "young adult" books and movies of the era. In this conversation, we talk about the elements that make this film unique, from its melodramatic tone and affecting performances to the wider cultural and political questions with which it grapples.
