Review of Touch of Evil (1958) by Al A — 11 May 2009
Touch of evil.
It is not only its marvelous fist sequence, it is the way it is shot, the use of the light (and the shadows), the modern concept of the narration. the visual confusion it introducts in the whole history of cinema. it is the discussion over the limits that means can have to achieve a fair goal. the power of sorrow and pain. the sacrifice, the principles, also. when you try to do the appropriate thing, how complicated it is, how much beauty can be hidden behind fear and loath. I dare say it is a true master piece.
