Movie Reviews of The Hired Hand (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: montage editing mastery
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a masterpiece without a doubt, decades ahead of its time and a glittering milestone in the history of both the western genre and American filmmaking. Frank Mazzola, a genius of montage editing artistry adds a new dimension of delight and rapturous beauty to this brilliant work lifting it into the pantheon of timeless cinematic perfection. A feast for the eye, the mind and the soul. Bravo to all involved in re-issuing this new cut.
editor of both the original and recut versions, is perhaps the best montage artist ever to come out of Hollywood. His extraordinary work
Summary of The Hired Hand (Collector's Edition)
A true rediscovery of the most valuable kind, The Hired Hand has been superbly restored after 30 years of obscurity--which followed a pitifully half-hearted release in 1971. The Western storyline is simplicity itself: after many years, a wanderer (Peter Fonda) returns to his farm and wife (Verna Bloom), with his saddlemate (the incomparable Warren Oates) in tow; violence intrudes. But the subtle sexual politics in Alan Sharp's script, the guitar sound of Bruce Langhorne's music, and the rapturous landscapes in Vilmos Zgismond's cinematography create a fresh take on the old form. This was Fonda's directing debut (two years after Easy Rider), and while it has an unmistakably seventies vibe to it, the film also feels like an "eastern" Western, its minimalist style approaching zen. Give yourself over to its deliberate mood, and by the time the final shot rolls into view you'll know you've seen something special. --Robert HortonWesterns DVD Video
