A classic film that ages even better than Anne Bancroft
|
Having finally watched this classic film, I was suprised just how good it was. Not only did it capture the sexual Zeitgeist of the 60's it has proven remarkably (and ominously) prescient in depicting what 'gender equality' might mean regarding sexual relations.
Anne Bancroft is wickedly delicious in the role(reversal) of the scheming, older sexual predator. What young man could say no to her? Especially a man as unsure and sexually inept as the Dustin Hoffman character. And when he does say no, she simply falsely accuses him of rape. With the dice seemingly now loaded against him and his gender, will our male hero somehow restore the natural order of things and win the love of Mrs Robinson's pretty young daughter? A classic snapshot of the hopes and fears of a unique generation, memorable performances from an oh so young Dustin Hoffman and an oh so seductively wicked Anne Bancroft. Easily a five star film even before being soundtracked by some of Simon and Garfunkels greatest songs. |
