The Passenger, I finally watched this beautiful classic starring Jack Nicholson

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Interesting to see it after years reading about it's classic status.

My favorite thing is the cinematography and the beautiful locations. Many of the camera shots are taken from a distance which depersonalized the story a bit which I found oddly disturbing, a testament to the execution of the story and acting by all involved I suppose.

Also, the final uninterrupted six and a half minute shot at the end of the film was a pleasure to see and holds your attention with the tale it tells so effortlessly.

there is also a full commentary by Nicholson (who obviously has a bit of passion on this project) and is worth a listen.

My mind wandered a bit in the second half, which is more my restless personality than the movie imo, the film itself seemed darn near perfect and, of course, recommended.

I enjoyed The Sheltering Sky a few years back, I probably liked it more than The Passenger - PhilJ 21:01:52 10/22/11 (0)
