Bigger Than Life
USA 1956, 95 minutes
Dir. Nicholas Ray
Genres: Classics, Drama, Cult
Topics: Mental Health, Drugs & Alcohol.
Feat. James Mason, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau
Aroview: Enormously potent, landmark melodrama is also a career high for James Mason: he plays a suburban family man struck down with a rare heart disease, its only cure regular doses of Cortisone.
Manic depression and psychotic episodes ensue, with dir. Ray not holding back on the social critique, expressionist visuals, and disdain for materialism and domesticity that cuts far deeper than anything Douglas Sirk managed.
