Review of East of Eden (1955) by Ashley B — 13 Oct 2007
James Dean's best film and best performance, in Elia Kazan's masterful depiction of Steinbeck's Cain and Abel story, the main focus being on the Cain figure (Dean). Dean gives a performance of a character whose unpredictability is frightening, and has us hooked from a very wisely-chosen opening scene: stalking a mysterious woman dressed much like a widow.
