Review of My Own Private Idaho (1991) by Andy P — 01 May 2014
Gus Vant Sant doesn't stifle his artistic, avant-garde impulses for the sake of accessibility in this profound and moving take on Shakespeare's Henry IV, which is made all the more special by brilliant performances from Reeves and Phoenix, Reeves' natural melancholy perfectly suited to the anachronistic bard-speak he delivers in certain scenes.
The picture is a perfect blend of humor and pathos, and a touching tale of friendship and love.
