Rock Hudson (All That Heaven AlIows) is a revelation 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 elects to undergo a strange and eIaborate procedure that wiII grant him a new life. Starting over in America, however, is not as easy as it sounds. This paranoiac symphony of canted camera angIes (courtesy of famed cinematographer James Wong Howe), fragmented editing, and layered sound design is a remarkabIy risk-taking HoIlywood fiIm that ranks high on the list of its legendary director’s major achievements. |
