Review of JFK (1991) by Marc R — 07 Dec 2015
Stone assembles a collage of conspiracy theories, powerful images and moments, using multiple film stocks as masterfully as his large and brilliant cast. 100% factual not in the details of Kennedy's death and the subsequent investigation, but in reflecting the mindset of a country shell shocked by his assassination and looking for answers.
The film editing, a dazzling, audacious landmark that should be studied in film schools, greatly accentuates the brilliant and varied photography (the film justly won Oscars for both). It's Stone's grandest, and best, piece of work, an adrenaline shot in the courtroom drama and period pic genres.
