Review of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) by Bill Cosford for Miami Herald — 17 Aug 2000
This 1984 is not an easy film to watch, but it exerts a fascination that demands attention even as you want to turn away from it. That the Orwell tale still works so well - and this version works far better than the 1956 film adaptation - also makes it apparent that the novel was always more cautionary in its intentions than prophetic.
