JFK
Director: Oliver Stone
Starring: Kevin Costner, Sissy Spacek,Gary Oldman, Jay O. Sanders, Ed Asner
Stone and his editors, Joe Hutshing and Pietro Scalia, have somehow triumphed over the tumult of material here and made it work - made it grip and disturb us.
Director Oliver Stone has fashioned in JFK a riveting, dramatic and disturbing look at one of the great whodunits of history.
filmmaking is so supple and alive, his obsession with the visual aspect of history so electrifying, that JFK practically roots itself in your imagination.
Does JFK capture the truth? Possibly, in a poetic sense. Is it a compelling film? Most assuredly.
Director and co-screenwriter Oliver Stone pulls off an amazing filmmaking feat with JFK, transforming the dry minutiae of every John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory of the past three decades into riveting screen material.
