STAR 80 Mariel Hemingway Eric Roberts dir. Bob Fosse | SCENE

Deeply unpleasant and more horrific than any horror movie. Fosse proves to be one of the great stylists in American cinema at his most unrestrained as two characters are ensnared by modern greed and frailty, and an inevitable tragedy plays out. Photography is thematized as a critique and framing device, and the irony of "Just the Way You Are" is a hammer on a nail. 1983. Dir. Bob Fosse. Also starring Cliff Robertson, Carroll Baker, Roger Rees, James Luisi. Dir. photography Sven Nykvist. Edi. Alan Heim. No copyright claimed or implied. For purposes of critical analysis.
