Review of Frantic (1988) by Waltertsolley — 26 Dec 2017
Roman Polanski’s directs “Frantic” with unrelenting brilliance. There is not a single frame of this movie that does not bear the mark of a master filmmaker. Harrison Ford is the perfect “Everyman” in the Hitchcockian tradition, a modern Jimmy Stewart.
A rollercoaster ride of a mystery, with Ford searching Paris for his missing wife, as detours and “MacGuffin’s” abound. Witold Sobocinski‘s cinematography captures it all with inky blacks and cool elegance.
