Review of Bigger Than Life (1956) by Andrew D — 27 Nov 2011
Fantastic pitch-black slice of warped Americana. James Mason is pitch-perfect as sweeter than sweet family man crumbling into a maniacal Old Testament wielding tyrant under the influence of an experimental medication.
I would have preferred a less neatly rounded out ending, there were so many troubling themes here and then ending felt like s light betrayal of them, but still, a very enjoyable film.
