This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
The Way It Is (also known as The Way It Is or Eurydice in the Avenues) is a 1985 American No Wave black comedy/drama film directed by Eric Mitchell based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Its 80 minutes black and white 35 mm movie film cinematography was shot by Bobby Bukowski and edited by Bob Gould and Susan Graef. The musical score was by Larry Crosley and Vincent Gallo. The film marked Steve Buscemi and Vincent Gallo's film debuts.
The Way It Is or Eurydice in the Avenues is an indirect homage to the Marcel Camus film Black Orpheus (1959) and in general to French New Wave and Italian Neorealism filmmaking. It is considered the climatic apogee of no wave low-budget production values as the film’s dialogue track was dubbed and added to the film in editing.
