"Santa Claus rides alone". A proposition: Clint Eastwood makes better movies out of airport novels than David Fincher because his approach has little to do with elevating, but just mining them for whatever meaningful subtext they might have while just let the plot play up.…
Filipe FurtadoJan 6, 2020O tema de Eastwood Após a parceria com Sergio Leone e os seus primeiros trabalhos como realizador (de Perversa Paixão [Play Misty for Me, 1971] a Raposa de Fogo [Firefox, 1982]), Clint Eastwood passa a demonstrar um interesse por personagens marcadamente trágicas a…
Valeska G. SilvaFeb 13, 2024was easy to underrate this on a first watch because of its status as a minor eastwood, part of his underseen 'airport novel trilogy', but i really do think now that this is one of his strongest works on all levels, the unity of presence felt at every juncture via match-cuts…
