Changes is a 1969 American drama film directed and produced by Hall Bartlett.[1]

Plot

Set in the 1960s, the film follows the lead character Kent (Kent Lane), as he travels along the California coast.[1] As he drifts, he recalls his former troubled girlfriend, Bobbi (Manuela Thiess) who committed suicide after he broke off their relationship. During his travels he meets up with different women. However, he moves along rather than stay put in hopes of finding a meaning to his life.

Cast

Soundtrack

The film includes two songs from the Tim Buckley album Goodbye and Hello on its soundtrack. The title song "Changes" was written by former Motown executive William "Mickey" Stevenson, Vicki Basemore, and Stevenson's wife, fellow Motown alumnus Kim Weston. Weston performs the song in the film and on the soundtrack album.[2][3]

Reception

John Simon described Changes as 'an abomination'.[4] In the New York Times, Howard Thompson said "If "Changes" had a culminating dramatic effect equal to its perception and visual beauty, the picture [...] would be a masterpiece. Even so, it is one of the most imaginative, haunting and artistic movies yet made of contemporary youth at bay. It is a remarkable film and — more than that — a remarkable experience."[5]
