About this item
Amazon.com
If you thought Adrian Lyne only made glossy and sexually provocative movies like Flashdance and 9 1/2 Weeks, this hour-long profile of the British-born filmmaker will give you a new appreciation of Lyne's work and his consistently intelligent approach to making movies. Described by Lolita costar Frank Langella as "manipulative" in the best sense of that word, Lyne proves to be an engaging and eloquent host to this overview of his films, which (with the possible exception of Flashdance) have all been products of a singular passion to provoke and inspire discussion. "I love it when people are still arguing about the film after they've seen it, and discussing it the next day," says Lyne, and his films--most notably Fatal Attraction, Jacob's Ladder, and the aforementioned "remake" of Lolita--have consistently prompted that kind of heated debate. Woody Harrelson, Tim Robbins, Anne Archer, and studio executive Sherry Lansing are among those who offer their views on the qualities that make Lyne's films unique, but it's Lyne himself who is most illuminating. He frequently reveals a favored technique or belief (such as his use of long-focus lenses to give actors more natural space, or his reluctance to farm out the demonic imagery of Jacob's Ladder to a special effects company), and the result is a greater understanding of a passionate and often underrated director whose body of work--as refreshingly demonstrated here--is worthy of serious consideration. --Jeff Shannon
