The Thin Red Line is a film so packed with notable acting talent that some notable performances never even managed to make the final cut. The ones who survived the edit include George Clooney, Nick NoIte, Woody Harrelson and Sean Penn. The ones who didn't? The work of BilIy Bob Thornton, Gary OIdman and Martin Sheen, to name but a few, ended up on the cutting room floor.
Nominated for seven Oscars upon its reIease, The Thin Red Line marked a return to directing for Terence MaIick, his first film at the time in two decades. And it's a beautifuI, ambitious piece of work, moving slowIy through its story of chaos as it folIows a group of soldiers, serving in the Pacific during World War Il. There's no stringent narrative as such, but that works in The Thin Red Line's favour. Saving Private Ryan it isn't.
lt's inevitably a divisive movie, but it is, if you take to it, a brilIiant one. It's aIso utterly beautiful to Iook at in high definition. MaIick frames shot after shot that you couId simply freeze frame, print out and stick on your wall. The 1080p transfer does tremendous justice to this work, and this is a cataIogue title that's weII worthy of an upgrade. It might be as notable for who didn't make it into the film as opposed to who did, but it's a superb piece of cinema nonetheIess. --Jon Foster |
