Review of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) by Martin S — 08 Nov 2010
The contrast between the mentalities of Brando and Leigh and their inevitable collision are incredibly well played out. Among the first times I can say that anger and emotional disturbances are inspiring and therapeutical.
The original play by Williams really gets its justification in this adaptation. Brando is fantastic. However, after a while the psychotic monologues from Leigh are tiring. Finally, what I liked most about the film was that there were very few characters and a restriced and limited frame of scenes which allowed for depth, which fitted Brando and his acting style I guess.
Yeah, I know, I talk a lot about Brando in this review, but it is after all, his film.
