Product: Julia (1971)
Rating: 5.0
One of the BEST FILMS of the latter 20th Century.
I have seen this over 20 times, and find the story, pacing and settings captivating. Let us review the film on its merits as a docu-drama and the wonderful and deep characterizations portrayed by Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Fonda. A woman's memoir of a turbulent time in her life and the world's. A story of devotion and sacrifice.I had seen this in the cinema with my best friend when we were very young, and it has stayed with us over the years. I purchased two DVDS: one to replace my old-"taped from TV" and the second as a gift to my dear friend.I recommed this film highly for anyone looking further into the life of one of our pioneer female writers and playwrights, and for a vision into what sacrifice can mean.For more interest in Socio-polictical topics, I also recommend Citizen Cohen...The story of Judge Roy Cohen, the infamous second to MaCarthy...and the subsequent Red-hunts of the late 40s and early 50s. Starring James Woods (HBO).
