Princess Caraboo (1994)
Charming romantic comedy.
Phoebe Cates is irresistible as Princess Caraboo. Kevin Kline is great fun as Frixos and I liked Stephen Rea as Gutch. This was a delightful and refreshing film. It's not easy to find in video stores, but ask for it. Films that are fun for the whole family are rare, but this is one.
Unforgiven (1992)
A classic. Chilling. Makes us question the nature of good and evil.
A brilliant film, surely the best work of director Clint Eastwood. "Unforgiven" makes us question not only the natures of good and evil, but whether those terms are even relevant in explaining human actions. There is not one character in this film who is truly good, so where should our sympathies lie. Who's the "good guy". All of the major characters are shown in a more of less sympathetic light. Little Bill, who is in some ways the most evil character in the film, can also be seen as the one character who is most consistently on the right side of right and wrong. I don't see any real villains here ... nor any heroes, just an existential landscape in which all of the characters seem propelled by forces larger than themselves.
