Movie Reviews of Exodus
Movie Review: OTTO PREMINGER, OPUS 27
Summary: 4 Stars
**** 1960. Based on Leon Uris's Exodus and produced and directed by Otto Preminger. One Academy award (Music) and two other nominations. Paul Newman is Ari Ben Canaan, one of the leaders of a Jewish independence movement. He manages to force the British forces to let the boat Exodus leave Cyprus with more than 600 Jews on board and reach the port of Ha?fa. When Otto Preminger directed EXODUS, he was detached from the Hollywood studios and independent for some years. After Bonjour Tristesse, Anatomy of a Murder and PORGY AND BESS, he chose to adapt to the screen another bestseller: EXODUS. If everybody agrees that this 210 min. film isn't a masterpiece, I didn't yawn once during the projection however. I particularly liked the way Otto Preminger paralleled Israel's destiny and Eva Marie Saint's psychological evolution. I'm more confused in front of Preminger's handling of the extremisms: between the blonde and passive Karen and the wild Dov Landau, between smooth integration and armed guerrila warfare, the director favoured the latter. Art and Life can't obviously meet. Highly recommended.
Summary of Exodus
Otto Preminger's 1960 adaptation of Leon Uris's novel is a sprawling 220-minute tale of the founding of modern Israel, starring Paul Newman as a Resistance leader. The film works best as an example of Preminger's estimable skill with all levels of drama and action, but as a reflection upon history it is compromised by stereotypes, unpersuasive relationships, and a certain moral ambivalence about issues related to the subject. There are good and exciting sequences, however, particularly one involving an effort to break through a British blockade and get to the homeland. --Tom KeoghInspired by Leon Uris' international bestseller, this "extraordinarily moving" (The New Republic) chronicle of the rebirth of a people and the establishment of a nation is the ultimate experience in human drama. Nominated* for three Academy Awards? and winner* for Best Score, Exodus is an "exciting, dramatic, scenic, panoramic and deeply moving" (New York Daily News) masterpiece. Ari Ben Canaan (Paul Newman), a commander of the Israeli underground, manages to lead 600 Jews from the detention camps of Cyprus onto a large freighter bound for Palestine. But British forces soon learn of his plan and insist that he turn back. Undaunted, Ari and his passengers refuse to give up, risking their lives for the greater cause of Israeli independence.
