Review of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) by Jeans P — 28 Jul 2012
A deeply moving film, so emotional and so heartbreaking that it's sometimes painful to watch, in all its smashing and stunning glory. The main quality of the movie is shown in the brilliant performances by Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando and Kim Hunter.
Actually, the whole ensemble cast is perfect. So sorrowful, full of anger, tormenting and haunting story about a great tragedy, loss of innocence and degradation of love. Ella Kazan directed this movie based on a classic play with a great attention to details, showing every aspect in an utmost shocking manner.
While the disaster seems inevitable, the final scene and its horror are still more powerful than anyone could've imagined. A legendary movie, so distressing and depressing in its clarity, that it makes it unable to be forgotten.
