Nixon/Frost
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
An old friend of mine invited me to see a movie, always a good idea. We went to see Frost/Nixon and were stunned. This is a huge film. Simple as it may seem from the outside (talkshowhost sets out to interview Richard Nixon) the story is intriging from the start and developes slowly but surely into a psychological thriller. I found myself glued to the screen and absolutely fascinated.
Frank Langella (Nixon) creates his character with great debt. Although in the film there is hardly any doubt about the great dammage Nixon brought on his country (obstruction of justice, abuse of power, acting outside and above the law) the character of Nixon is amiable and sympathetic and in the end very tragic.
