A small film that only enjoyed limited release in theaters and isn't getting much attention on DVD either, is Keith Gordon's latest, `Waking the Dead'. Back in 1992, there was another under-appreciated independent film called `A Midnight Clear' that had the misfortune of being released alongside the likes of `Unforgiven' and `Last of the Mohicans'.
Waking the Dead (2000) I saw about 25 minutes of this movie several years ago, had to leave, and was always intrigued by it. I figured out what the movie was, watched it all the way through on Saturday, and loved it. It was so emotionally moving and the chemistry between Jennifer Connelly and Billy Crudup was palpable.
Keith Gordon has again bowled me over with a magnificent piece of filmmaking. "Waking the Dead" shares many of the same elements as his "A Midnight Clear" (still in my view the best WWII drama of modern times) -- a skillful adaptation of a powerful novel, intense performances from the entire cast, and careful attention to the rhythm and pacing of his story.
