19. "On the Waterfront IS a masterpiece." In response to In response to 15
I know exactly what u mean about the framing etc. He's kind of like the opposite of a Kubrick in that respects. It's more emotive than perfect. I thought the score was a little too busy at times but that's a minor gripe and plus it's the 50s. Streetcar is also a great work of drama. i don't know why Kazan's name didn't stick with me but I intend to see more of his work. I love that whole period.
Wang sounds interesting, and I'm big on Tarantino so I'll look that up as well.
