  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

On the face of it, the two couldn’t be more different: the former revels in its sweeping landscapes and full-blooded screaming matches, while the latter is a resolutely- controlled miniature, barely setting foot outside the Dickinson house in Amherst, Massachusetts. For all that, A Quiet Passion sees Davies returning again to some familiar themes. His Dickinson – superbly played with a sort of restless passivity by Cynthia Nixon – is, like Sunset Song’s Chris Guthrie, a figure trapped by history and circumstance, desperate to find an outlet for the Terence Davies on overwhelming emotions surging inside her.

  • A Quiet Passion Terence Davies, a Writer/Director of Sober Taste And
    A Quiet Passion Terence Davies, a writer/director of sober taste and refinement (“The Deep Blue Sea,” “The House of Mirth”) who takes literature seriously, examines the sheltered, mysterious, yet vibrant life of Emily Dickinson in “A Quiet Passion,” trying to bridge the gap between the uneventful domestic life of the woman who became a recluse and the inward fervor of the poet. He chooses a highly stylized manner to tell his chronicle of the Amherst maid, and his effort results in hits and misses. The staging of “A Quiet Passion” seems perfectly appropriate (the film did exteriors in Amherst and interiors in Belgium). It is sedate and often striking: most scenes show a fixed camera view of a Victorian interior framed by doorways wherein the protagonists deliver their ever-articulate lines, usually with a minimum of invisible cuts. Occasionally, these stagings are intermingled with a leisurely 360-degree pan. Such straight-on filming can prove wonderful, such as a tour-de-force time lapse of the Dickinson family as each individual morphs into their characters 20 years later. But that fixed stare can also make Emily’s periodic torments (from symptom’s of Bright’s disease) excruciating to watch. Whether Cynthia Nixon’s writhing in these scenes, as the fevered Emily, shows good acting or just gratuitous voyeurism is up to the viewer to decide. Davies makes another decision on staging which is problematic. As Emily’s woes increase, with the loss of family members and the progression of her diseases, the film becomes as reclusive as the poet, where she decides to confine herself to her bedroom and wear only a white shift.

  • A Masterly Emily Dickinson Movie
    RICHARD BRODY FEBRUARY 22, 2016 A Masterly Emily Dickinson Movie BY RICHARD BRODY Cynthia Nixon and Jennifer Ehle in Terence Davies’s “A Quiet Passion,” about Emily Dickinson. IMAGE COURTESY DOUBLE DUTCH INTERNATIONAL efore last week’s trip to Berlin, I had never attended a major international film festival. (New York doesn’t count—it’s a self-described “festival of festivals,” featuring many movies that have already premièred.) For good Breason, these festivals are not part of my regular rounds: I usually write about movies that are available to many readers, because there’s a tease built into festival reviews—let me tell you about some wonderful movies that I’ve seen and that you can’t, or, at least, not yet. But, this time, I can report on a one-off screening that, far from being a tease, may help to resolve one. Last week, while writing in the magazine about the New York première (at Lincoln Center) of the British director Terence Davies’s superb new film, “Sunset Song,” I added that the meticulous filmmaker, who is now seventy, is picking up the pace of production, having already completed another feature, “A Quiet Passion,” a biopic about Emily Dickinson, starring Cynthia Nixon. What I didn’t know at the time was that, because of fortuitous scheduling, I’d get to attend a press screening of “A Quiet Passion” at the Berlin Film Festival. I’m thrilled to say that it’s an absolute drop-dead masterwork. Not that I don’t have other paradigms, ADVERTISEMENT but the Scorsese one seems to fit again: “A Quiet Passion” is like Davies’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.” It displays an urgent outpouring of pent-up creative energy from a director well advanced in his career but tapping into ideas, impulses, and talents that somehow have been kept under wraps throughout his decades of artistic activity.
