Special Screening 2009 / Director: Nicholas Ray
Rebel Without A Cause
Nicholas Ray’s moving 1955 tale of teenage romanticism thwarted by an adult world of televisions and atomic bombs established James Dean as America’s first underage icon. Dean’s alienation is perfectly expressed through Ray’s vertiginous mise-en-scene: the suburban LA setting becomes a land of decaying Formica and gothic split-levels. An unmissable film, made with a delirious compassion.
