Review of Touch of Evil (1958) by Jens T — 08 Feb 2010
Welles turns in another great performance as a man who is both physically and morally repulsive. His directorial choices might be even more interesting, like the overlapping dialogue. The cinematography is masterful, with its long takes, well-constructed compositions, and dynamic use of chiaroscuro.
The fact that Charlton Heston is supposed to play a Mexican isn't as distracting as it sounds.
