Review of Secret Honor (1984) by Yury M — 17 Apr 2008
Richard Nixon: "I was an unindicted coconspirator just like everybody else in the United States of America.".
Once again Robert Altman's brilliance captivated me entirely. Secret Honor is a fictionalized but largely accurate glimpse into the mind of another brilliant man, Richard Nixon, played here by yet another brilliant man, Philip Baker Hall. All 90 minutes of the movie are set in Nixon's office and feature just one actor delivering a monologue that is at the same time revelatory, delirious, intimate and self-indulgent. To anyone who is interested in either great cinema or history, this movie is unmissable.
