Big fallout for an apparently small movie-but its a masterpiece.
By andybg (7 reviews) from Hackney , 15 Sep 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I heard a Radio 4 programme in which John Lahr, a friend and expert on director Karel Reisz, explained that Arthur Miller (legendary playwright yet apparently struggling screenwriter) derided Reisz for this films' failure. Curiously, the character Jerry seems to look a bit like the younger Miller? Reisz was so depressed by this, says Lahr, that he quite film directing and turned to theatre- and the minimalist dialogue of Beckett and Pinter at that.
In the end, this is bloody marvellous. The performances are deeply inhabited and its a picture of derailed boondocks that is probably among the finest. It's the precursor to the Nordic Tv 'tecs perhaps, certainly a country cousin of the Elmore Leonard of 52 Pick-Up etc. Debra Winger is extraordinary.- Was this review helpful to you?
