Review of Shane (1953) by Anastasia B — 27 Dec 2010

Immaculate. Stevens has been praized for his talent for composition, and here one can see why: every shot is elegantly framed and looks as if painted to perfection by a great master. The level of sophistication of this film has left me speachless for two hours.

And then, there is the story, that's slowly tossing and turning, but taking its own natural pace until the inevitable final stand-off. I really can't find enough words for praize, I think, and also I won't start criticizing the subjects the film touches right now, cause if I do this I will be still here writing till tomorrow morning and still it won't be enough!
