Movie Reviews of Bobby Deerfield
Movie Review: Beautiful work by Pacino, Keller, and Pollack
Summary: 5 Stars
I wonder if most people even know or remember this film. I saw it in the theatres and have loved it since. I am so glad to see that it is finally being released onto DVD. Very Europeanan style (especially the score),the film follows the beautiful and tragic love affair between Pacino and Keller (they became a real life couple during the filming). Based on the Erich Maria Remarque novel, "Heaven has no favorites", director Sydney Pollack knows how to create a beautifully romantic tapestry with the touch of tragedy always hovering overhead. Even though it isn't too hard to figure out how the film will end once introduced to Kellers character, Lidea Morelli, you don't care as you want to saver every moment the couple have together, just as they do. The main theme running throughout the film (as in all of Remarque's work) is death, from Deerfield's brush with it everytime he races, to Keller's character dying from TB, but you get caught up with quest she has to live each day as an adventure and find the gift that it has to offer you. Lidea's gift to Bobby is to discover himself behind the dark glasses that he wears all the time, so that no one will be able to recognize and know who he is. It's in her dying that brings life to Bobby. My favorite scene is during an afternoon picinc in the countryside and Bobby is frustrated over the enigmatic nature of her character. He wants to know who Carlos Montenegro is, whose land they are having the picinic on and has invited her for a hot air balloon ride the next day. He keeps repeating "Who's that man, who's Carlos Montenegro?" and she finally turns to him and quietly asks, "Who's Bobby Deerfield?". Great film making. I've read some dissapointing reviews about this film as it wasn't well received at the time it came out but I think it just got lost as gems often do when they're not mega blockbusters. Check it out, you may be surprised.
