Review of The Ruling Class (1972) by Nan L — 25 Aug 2011
In the 60s and 70s many directors blended social commentary, genre conventions, and experiential film techniques. This one has some obvious flaws, including length and some flat scenes. But the sum is greater than its parts.
The social commentary is wicked and sharp, including its comment the acceptance of cruelty. Indeed, Jesus is considered crazy but Jack the Ripper becomes a kind of hero.
