Review of The Dead (1987) by Jeff B — 11 Jun 2011
Huston's final brilliant contribution to celluloid among his multi-faceted cinematic ouevre. It has a delightful touch to it. This is not your common watch: it actually reaches the level of Frears' Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and Scorsese's The Age of Innocence (1993) but, above all, this is not your common Huston. Although his classics will always remain as true definitions of a classic, this is way beyond him. This surpasses his abilities, and yet he managed to leave us this charmingly symbolic reunion as his definitive and nostalgic farewell.
86/100.
