Review of The Dead (1987) by Timothy M — 08 Jan 2011
One of the better swansongs for any filmmaker of longevity. Although the film is brief, Huston plays his cards close to the chest until the final 10 minutes or so, where all is made abundantly clear (not that it's a mystery as to what it's all about - it can be figured out rather quickly too, but Huston's playing a more subtle game, even by his standards).
Terrific performances all 'round, but both Donals McCann and Donnelly are exceptional.
