Review of Under the Volcano (1984) by Holly G — 20 Jun 2008
The closest any film has ever come to capturing the ecstasy of alcoholic self-destruction. Albert Finney is the archetype of the dissipated, wealthy westerner in a foreign land - Cuernavaca, Mexico during the Day of the Dead.
The dusty town at the foot of the seething volcano is just as much of a character as Finney and should have won the Academy Award for best supporting actor.
