Only one for me this week, a re-watch that still takes my breath away, The Miracle Worker:  A masterful cinematic adaptation of the powerful stage play by William Gibson, with brilliant, Oscar winning performances by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke and great, Oscar nominated direction by Arthur Penn. The use of quasi-surrealism in the starkly beautiful black-and-white cinematography by Ernesto Caparrós is haunting. It's so characteristic of many other great films of the sixties, but it distinguishes itself in the dream sequences in which it also pays lyrical homage to the ghostly images of early cinema and, even before, to the early days of photography. This adds an eerie integrity to the film's vintage period which is fraught with images that linger in the mind and heart long after the film is over. A true masterwork, in my opinion. Highly recommended for everyone. And here's a real treat: Patty Duke with Helen Keller.  |
