In Reply to: What is the best movie ever directed by an actor? posted by clarkjohnsen on September 20, 2004 at 07:36:47:
There are FOUR:Marlon Brando's sole directorial effort, One-Eyed Jacks, has a captivating grandeur cut with intimacy and rage.
Robert Redford dug deep inside himself to stage the suburban catharsis of Ordinary People.
Steve Buscemi's Trees Lounge is a superb tale of booze, lost youth, and Long Island.
(I liked many of youse guys' choices too: Of course Citizen Kane, although Orson had been only a radio (and stage, some) actor; Clint Eastwood's opera are grand; Charlie Chaplin -- I think EW just forgot; Victor's list of semi-obscurities is good and it earned him an insult from the usual quarters; and yes, Quentin must qualify.)
AND THE WINNAH (and I'm inclined to agree) --
The greatest film ever directed by an actor is Robert Duvall's The Apostle, a masterly study of a modern tent-show preacher torn -- sublimely -- between grace and sin.
-- Owen Gleiberman
