According to Newsweek, 1984 was “The Year of the Yuppie”, referring to those ferociously materialistic young professionals whose numbers blossomed during the Reagan administration. The following year Albert Brooks made Lost In America which describes what happens when one of those shallow, upwardly mobile folks decides to ditch the Mercedes, hit the road a la Easy Rider and go “touch Indians”. The results are one of the great satires in American film. Co-starring a brilliant Julie Hagerty as Brooks’ roulette-happy wife and an inspired cameo from Garry Marshall as a nonplussed casino boss.
