Review of Anatahan

Anatahan (1953)
10/10
Jim Morrison's (The Doors) Favorite Movie
1 November 2020
So I checked it out, and man, this is probably the first experimental movie that is actually great ("Little Fugitive" was another one, but that drew mostly from Italian neo-realism from a decade earlier with Vittorio De Sica leading the way).

I love the narration style (by the director himself). It's amazing how much we can learn and understand from human nature, despite not having subtitles or knowing exactly what they say, which brings a new element. Instead of reading, you are observing, and feel like you are there.

Very sensual, erotic, and exotic, without being exploitative. Again, it's a movie about human nature, with all the universal themes.

Just like any great, it will always be great. One of my favorite movies ever. Last time I checked this was online in full. Watch it out now before it's NOT there!
