A desert. And an oasis

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2012)

Interview. Play. Movie. A talk between a British journalist and one of most strange American presidents. So, nothing new. Antd this is secret of film. Play with common pieces for proof not an idea, not a thesis or discover new sense to an old event but tell a story in precise and fresh way. And one of most important ingredient is cast. Frank Langella creates a Nixon as collection of his shadows. Behind physical resemblance or Manichean scheme. A Nixon - loser front of him, A large predator who becomes pray. Victim, dictator, ball of frustrations, full of his status and far from any explanation of errors. Michael Sheen builds a puzzle - role.His David Frost is funny, strange, power, fragile and prepared in a very hidden form to wrest against Goliath. Victory is a ash ladder. And the triumph - fruit of a bleak tree. But the axis is Kevin Bacon in one of most profound roles. Because the movie is sketch of values. Fight against ambiguous demons . And image of a huge desert front oasis.
