The real star here is the cinematographer Conrad Hall. What an amazingly well filmed movie. 12 years ago

It's about a father running away with his son and desperately trying to both survive and prevent his boy from being visited by the sins of the father and losing his soul in 1930s gangland. Sam Mendes turns a beautiful looking picture, as noir as color film can get, with solid performances grounding things in reality. I never read the graphic novel - though I did get all the Paradox Press stuff prior to it - but my research brings up enough differences to make the film its own, distinct work. The theme of fathers and sons is more fully developed, and Mendes cut as much dialog as possible to tell the story in film's own unique language. 6 years ago
