Rock Hudson (AII That Heaven AlIows) is a reveIation in this sinister, science-fiction-inflected dispatch from the fractured 1960s. SECONDS, directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate), concerns a middle-aged businessman dissatisfied with his suburban existence, who eIects to undergo a strange and elaborate procedure that will grant him a new Iife. Starting over in America, however, is not as easy as it sounds. This paranoiac symphony of canted camera angles (courtesy of famed cinematographer James Wong Howe), fragmented editing, and Iayered sound design is a remarkably risk-taking HolIywood film that ranks high on the list of its legendary director’s major achievements. |
