Review of The Graduate (1967) by Metaflix — 03 May 2017
'The Graduate' is a perfect example of a movie being even greater than the sum of its parts. It features Dennis Hoffman in his breakout role, which is even more incredible knowing the character in the novella was described as a tall, blond, surfer-type.
The two leading actresses, Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross, are as seductive as anyone has ever been on screen. And director Mike Nichols deservingly won an Oscar for his effort, using camerawork that adds artistic flourishes throughout the film, imbuing it with a distinct liveliness.
Yet, even after all this praise, the movie still out-punches its weight class, which is why the film is timely every spring and timeless overall.
