Review of The Fountainhead (1949) by Masorad ( — 30 Jan 2009
A midwar German "mountain movie," Hollywood-style. Roark embodies the radical right's vision of itself as being beset on all sides by the small-minded, the liberal, the populist, the meek & lily-livered.
The straight-faced championing of puerile Nietzschean mindbarf is to be expected in a Vidor sound picture: Like Rand's contribution to philosophy, the dialogue & thematic thrust here is window dressing.
Turn off the volume and just watch the mise-en-scene. And if you're a woman, know your place.
