Letterboxd review by chavel ★★★★★
An aerial shot that opens is like no other, it starts overlooking over the exclusive Easton Bay and then turns upwards, with the shot swooping over estate after estate in ritzy Rhode Island for nearly a minute. In an overhead shot, these are the richest looking houses you’ve ever seen, property after property, perfectly, lushly landscaped. What is delivered in this Barbet Schroeder film is a snoop into the high society of this country (the living style is more Old English than American), and in a way, this hasn’t been a film that has been as highly valued as it should in passing years considering how it is a peerless perception of the elite, snide upper class that not really any other film has ever done closely as well.

Reversal of Fortune is Jeremy Irons’ icy aristocrat Oscar win as Claus Von Bulow, and it probes as to whether he planned murder of his wife or if he simply stood aside to watch as she sunk into suicidal anguish. The ten minutes that comes after the opening credits briskly recaps the crucial incidents of 1979 before Sunny (Glenn Close) fell into a coma that she would never pull out of; it’s so clear-cut we can understand the entire overlay of the prosecution narrative. Von Bulow was put on trial in 1982 and found guilty; the rest of the film is how he found the right lawyer in Alan Dershowitz (a just-right crabby/dorky Ron Silver) to handle his appeal, and the legwork in case details is spiked with contradictions and piling of reasonable doubts in its “Rashomon”-like flashbacks, though a question could be: Can reasonable doubt be so twisted as to be contrived?

You could write a hundred page polemic on Reversal of Fortune, but if you were to boil it down to one thing, the message is society people have the connections to be on top of the pyramid entitlement, and that kind of money talks so loudly one can so to speak make a bid to buy immunity.

The post Barbet Schroeder – Reversal of Fortune [+ Commentary] (1990) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Based on a supposedly true story, a woman is tormented and sexually molested by an invisible demon.

Quote:
This big budget entry from the early ’80s horror boom is one of the most underrated of that genre. The Entity succeeds despite potentially exploitative subject matter because it tells its story in a serious, respectful style. Frank de Felitta’s script devotes as much time to building three-dimensional characters and detailing the inner workings of psychology and parapsychology as it does creating shocks. As a result, the horrific parts of the tale are more effective because they are couched in a compelling reality. That said, The Entity never feels like anything less than a horror movie, thanks to forceful direction by Sidney J. Furie, who uses moody cinematography from Stephen Burum and an obsessive, minimalist score by Charles Bernstein to create an edgy, off-kilter atmosphere guaranteed to keep the audience tense between the set pieces. Finally, and most importantly, The Entity hooks the viewer thanks to phenomenal performances. Barbara Hershey gives a warm, totally credible performance as a decent, strong woman thrust into a bizarre situation, and Ron Silver adds excellent support as a well-meaning psychologist whose desire to find a rational explanation harms the situation as often as it helps. On the downside, a few of the makeup effects aren’t very convincing (especially when compared with strong physical and visual effects) and the open-ended coda might turn off some viewers, but the overall craftsmanship of the film is too strong to be denied. In short, The Entity is worthy of rediscovery by horror fans who want a little substance with their shocks. — Donald Guarisco (AMG)
