Movie Reviews of Reversal of Fortune
Movie Review: In search of the truth against all the odds!
Summary: 5 Stars
An icily aristocrat; a woman in comatose state in hospital bed and a fierce lawyer disposed to challenge the entire world against all odds, conform this dramatic premise that constitutes by far, the supreme masterpiece of this Swiss filmmaker: Barbet Schroeder.
The cast is a fundamental factor to take into account; Jeremy Irons whop deserved his only Academy Prize; Ron Silver in the role of his life career as the obstinate lawyer who incarnates the ethic side of the law, and as always the fabulous Glenn Close make of this film one of these outstanding films impossible to miss.
Movie Review: "You're a very strange man." "You have NO idea."
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. It's got everything I go to movies for: great acting, clever dialogue, intense drama, hilarious wit, directorial brio, and more. Jeremy Irons richly deserved his best actor Oscar for playing the deadpan-droll Claus von Bulow, a role tailor-made for him. Ron Silver deserved one as well for his work as Alan Dershowitz, von Bulow's legal eagle and fascinating foil, the embodiment of chutzpah. I could go on in detail about all the little moments that make this film wonderful, but I'll stop here and simply urge you to see it. Until you do, you'll have NO idea...Movie Review: Reversal of Fortune
Summary: 5 Stars
Director Schroeder's fascinating "Fortune" dramatizes the bizarre but very real 1980 crime and trial that hit the ultra-wealthy Newport set (and the rest of us) like a time bomb. The bravura performances of the stars elevate the sad, sordid aspects of the story, and Irons's portrayal of the enigmatic Claus is superb, netting him an Oscar. But Silver matches him as the mercurial Dershowitz: one of the film's great pleasures is watching how attorney and client, polar opposites in every respect but brains, work together to overturn the conviction.Movie Review: Coma
Summary: 5 Stars
Audacious, brilliant, cerebral yet firmly grounded in the stuff of life, Barbet Schroeder's "Reversal of Fortune" is as much a winner now as it was when it was first released, 14+ years ago. And this has as much to do with Jeremy Irons' performance as Klaus Von Bulow as it does with Schroeder's masterful writing and directing: here is an example of everything coming together in the right place at the right time.Movie Review: puzzled
