THE PASSENGER PART DEUX

9.0

New day. New rating. That's how these things happen.

If you haven't seen The Passenger (or if you haven't seen it since 1975), you should probably see it again.

This is filmmaking. This is film writing. This is film acting. This is cinematography extraordinaire...the last shot, the "event" of the last scene takes place during this LONG dolly push...through the room and out into the street, the "event" plays out ONLY in audio and very quiet audio at that. The sounds of the street almost completely mask what happens. An amazing ending almost always comes as the result of a well imagined well structured film. This is all of that and more. It's also Ghostly, Dreamlike and Beautiful, like almost nothing else. Jack Nicholson is at his best. Maria Schneider. Wow.
