Review of The Ruling Class (1972) by Kjetil A — 29 Dec 2009
It's difficult for me to get into the spirit of the thing when the film takes aim at such easy targets with such broad strokes. And the musical sequences reek of "look at how daring we are!" self-consciousness.
There are a few humorous bits, and the butler has some great lines. But things don't really get cooking until the transformation just after the halfway point. Only then does the satire get some real bite to it, and the scenes from Jack's point of view are particularly impressive.
