There has been mention of RIVERRUN (1968) on the internet, with several reviews, an analysis, and comments about it and the films of director John Korty. The film, unfortunately, has never been released either on videocassette or DVD format. Would be a fascinating film to see, I believe, with its counter-culture theme, and father-daughter conflict.
The only movie directed by David Berlatsky, THE FARMER (1977), like RIVERRUN, has not appeared in any formats. It is a film that seems to have a following from what I have witnessed on the internet, and may one day, hopefully, be available for viewing. I find films where justice is served on evil-doers more interesting than those where there is no punishment for the villain, from what I have seen from THE FARMER'S trailer it seems to fit into this equation. It is of note that THE FARMER was refused classification by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification in 1977; I wonder if this decision would remain the same if the film was re-viewed today after more than forty years.
WELCOME TO THE CLUB (1971) seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. It is extremely difficult to access information about it, and, like the previous two motion pictures, has not been released in a home video or DVD format. Of interest for the appearance of actor Jack Warden, and the only directorial turn by Walter Shenson, producer of The Beatles' movie A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964).
