What I like even more than movie/novels are adapted plays. The constraints of the form force a focus on few characters whose dialogue almost entirely drives the story. So also here. On top - there is a cinematographic point in shooting the adaptation. The noir 80’s unnamed American setting uniquely brings out the way GGR captures the omnipresent pressure to !!SELL!! Unknown gem.
(Excuse the review quality - it’s all I could muster with these shit leads)
Why the rush? Could have easily been 3 hours longer.. I love it when watching movies feels like reading novels, and this is the best example. Michael’s prelapsarian Sycilian interlude has also immensely grown onto me over the past few watches.
