Imitation of Life (1958, Unrated)
sarah jane desperately tried to alert pre-civil rights america to the idea of race being a social construct but she was just too far ahead of her time. the performance to watch here, though, is juanita moore's--i dare anyone to not respond to its beautiful economy |

Imitation of Life (1934, Unrated)
this version is much truer to the fanny hurst novel and the complexity of its narrative structure is much more in evidence here |

Back Street (1961, Unrated)
susan hayward's "crazy-dancing" (in the first scene) alone is worth the price of admission. fresh off his starched turn in "imitation of life". the hopelessly handsome gavin gives another startling performance straight out of the school of wood |

Under Fire (1983, R)
ed harris fans will be disappointed-his role is small. what's interesting here are the performances by hackman, nolte and the trancendent cassidy (she was robbed of an oscar nomination). never have these actors been better. a new genre is forged here ( "80's noir"-my creation!) and hackman's piano stylings to boot. pinter meets oliver stone. |
