Movie Reviews of The Razor's Edge
Movie Review: "For The Privilege Of Being Alive" ~ No Regrets, No Rewards On The Road To Enlightenment
Summary: 4 Stars
Synopsis: Larry Darrell (Bill Murray) wants more out of life than a well paying job, a big house and a new car every year. Leaving his pre-determined life in America behind he goes in search of the meaning of life, a journey leading Paris, India and back again.
India changes Larry's life, teaching him the difficult "razor's edge" path to salvation. Equipped with a new perspective on life and our place in the grand scheme of things he returns to Europe where he encounters his nearest and dearest American friends. The question is can Larry's newfound wisdom and understanding be applied to a Western world more attuned to the material pleasures, diversions and all the other assorted minutia it has become so identified with?
Critique: The '84 film `The Razor's Edge perfectly captures the spiritual angst of the early twentieth century lost in a post WWI world. The production values are first rate, the storyline touching and thoughtful and the acting excellent (Theresa Russell looks stunning). I found one of the most impressive elements of this film to be the nostalgic, highly evocative soundtrack. It's a magnificent collection that's definitely worthy of a spot in your CD collection. The only thing keeping this film from -5 Star- status is it's slow pacing that can intermittently cause momentary attention lapses in the audience.
My Rating: -4 1/2 Stars-.
