Review of Body and Soul (1925) by Bill T — 26 Sep 2012
A movie that has a great reputation ahead of being a great movie (this was one of the first "all black" movies ever made). If there was one reason to see this movie, that would be for the great Paul Robeson, who just outshines everyone here with his acting ability.
As a matter of fact, when everyone is emoting, emoting, emoting, Robeson is more natural, and therefore more believable. Speaking of believable, the story is pretty hoary, with a cheat ending of course.
Not the greatest movie. But what do you expect from Michaux?
