Review of The Innocents (1961) by Olivierpiel — 02 Nov 2020
All the -modern- critics seem to love this film, but to me it felt not ambiguous enough to work. The director clearly wants us to believe a supernatural version of events and not make us question the governess'character which is the intendended purpose of the original book.
The Freudian undertones have also not aged well. Good photography though.
