Review of Ragtime (1981) by Simon T — 22 Sep 2018
Why is Ragtime neglected? A superbly designed, brilliantly acted (many roles filled by Hollywood legends of the past) and richly rewarding snapshot of a period in American history when racism, jazz and the birth of cinema coalesced.
Milos Forman finds a dark humour in the most tragic sequences and once again proves himself a master of the larger canvas. Unjustly overlooked.
