Review of Touch of Evil (1958) by John A — 29 Aug 2011
Another masterpiece from Welles, this noirish meditation on border crossings--person to person, country to country, good to evil--is consistently inventive in its use of the camera, as if Welles were trying to ensure that we see the action from every angle possible.
The sharp angles from below offer a terrifying vision of authority and power gone bad, while the wide angles from above create an moody sense of insignificance and loneliness in the modern world.
