Jeremy (1973) Official Trailer

Blu-ray and HD worldwide premiere of Arthur Barron's JEREMY coming soon from Fun City Editions!

Available for pre-order here:

Jeremy loves horses, New York, basketball, the cello…and Susan, the new girl at school.

Before they teamed in the hit film Ode to Billy Joe, Robby Benson and Glynnis O’Connor gained fame in this honest and moving tale of first love in “Fun City”-era New York. Benson (One on One and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) is Jeremy Jones, a shy teenager who excels in all areas of his life save for romance. After a brief encounter with dance student Susan Rollins (O’Connor, Baby Blue Marine and TV’s The Boy in the Plastic Bubble) at school, Jeremy is smitten and suddenly everything else in the world seems inconsequential in comparison. All he can think of is winning Susan’s heart. But, as he soon learns, new relationships can be as fleeting as they are exhilarating.

Jeremy would win “Best First Film” at Cannes for its writer-director Arthur Barron (Brothers). Barron and director of photography Paul Goldsmith’s (Neil Young’s Rust Never Sleeps) backgrounds in documentary filmmaking lend the film a gritty and realistic feel, befitting its urban locations. The film’s original songs, which are sung by the stars themselves, amplify the story’s tenderness and sensitivity. Shot with hand-held 16mm cameras, Jeremy has an uncommon authenticity and immediacy. Now restored for Blu-ray from its 35mm CRI, these qualities can once again be appreciated as they were when the film premiered in 1973.

A beautiful movie memory from my teenage years.

I wrote a review for this film for my high school newspaper..which I still have in my files. "Jeremy"is the best romantic teenage film drama that I've ever seen..It's too bad that Ms.O'Connor and Mr.Benson didn't win an Oscar for their performances in this movie.

[iwantthesback]

yes, teenage love. Where a serious and heartbreaking relationship lasts a total of 3 weeks and 4 days. Seriously tho, who doesn’t wish we could go back? (Cried my eyes out when this first came out. This and Sweet Hostage).

I worked at a drive-in theater at this time. And I could get in to any theater at any time free in my town ( a grand total.of 3)..I went every afternoon for 5 days to see Jeremy. It's now so bittersweet to see this and hear that beautiful song.
If you haven't seen it, do so....soft drink, popcorn. Curl up on the couch and enjoy..by yourself if crying embarrasses you.

In 1981 I saw the film for the first time. It touched me. Glad to find it here.

[antonioneresmachado]

Tem exatamente 40 anos que assisti a este filme e assim mesmo nem foi desde o inicio, mas me apaixonei pelo filme e principalmente por Suzan, a very pretty girl ... mas dias desses sonhei com o filme e me lembrei da música, recorri ao Google e encontrei alguma coisa, principalmente este link ... maravilhas dos tempos modernos, que na época (eu tinha 15 anos) nós não tínhamos.

Did anyone know that Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor were dating? I know they were during filming of Ode to Billy Joe, not sure about Jeremy. They were cute together

[Studgunners]

Is that Bill Murray that he's racing against on the city street?
