Review of The Day of the Locust (1975) by Enrico C — 03 Aug 2008
From a brilliant novel of the unlucky writer Nathanael West. The action takes place in the hollywood babylon of the late 30's, following these odd charachters trying to make it. The result is quite dull, maybe because director John Schlesinger is not able to put the black humour of the book into the movie, and the whole rhytm goes down many times.
