Absurdly Crude Social Critique
|
| While Otto Preminger was capable of making a relatively intelligent film like "Advise and Consent" when he felt like it, this has to stand as one of the most crudely drawn and transparently manipulative sociopolitical films of all time. Notwithstanding a somewhat interesting performance by a palpably uncomfortable John Huston, this picture is little more than a succession of clichA s so childish that even one sympathetic to its broader aims must feel shame at participating in its hamfisted and immoral moralism. As cinema it is little better than mediocre, and it is so awkward and false in its evocation of actual lived experience that only viewers whose wits have been totally debauched by the vulgar manipulations of modern media will find this anything more than a stultifyingly moronic exercise in mass hypnosis. |
