Movie Reviews of The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Movie Review: High and Low
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe the most important thing about this film is how faithfuly it renders the genius of Victor Hugo - historical accuracy, flawless literary structure, and unique style. The charater of the poet (Gringoire) is probably a self portrait of the author with the hunchback (Quasimodo) as his dark side. You can think about these juxtapositions without being misled - concepts that nourish.
Summary of The Hunchback of Notre Dame
This is the second version of victor of hugos classic and its a good one. Laughton plays the piteous hunchback who falls in love with a lovely gypsed girl. Studio: Turner Hm Entertainm Release Date: 09/19/2000 Starring: Edmond Obrian Maureen Ohara Run time: 115 minutesOf the many film versions of Victor Hugo's novel, this classic from Hollywood's golden year of 1939 remains the best, rivaled only by the 1923 silent version starring Lon Chaney. In his triumphant attempt to create a performance as memorable as Chaney's, Charles Laughton played the lovelorn Parisian hunchback Quasimodo under a disfiguring costume and gruesome makeup that rendered the actor almost unrecognizable. The result is a gripping and heartfelt portrayal of the misshapen bell ringer who falls desperately in love with the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda (played by Maureen O'Hara). The lavish production also greatly benefits from exquisitely moody black-and-white cinematography, brilliant medieval set design, and the atmospheric direction by German expatriate William Dieterle, whose style was heavily influenced by German films of the era. The DVD release includes the original theatrical trailer plus an additional audio track with authoritative commentary by film historian Paul Mandell. --Jeff Shannon
