| Al Pacino in BOBBY DEERFIELD Year: 1977 Rating: ***1/2 |
Not a race car movie, but one that centers on a famous driver... The
man, BOBBY DEERFIELD, especially after a fatal accident by another
driver in his car, simply doesn't care much for humanity or even
his own family, and only gets a personality after meeting, and then
traveling aimlessly with, a beautiful woman in a hospital...
In fact, his real
turnaround occurs after discovering this mystery woman's
deep, dark secret: Thus the free-spirited confidence of Marthe Keller's
personality makes sense after this revelation, as does the film...

Which
still meanders quite a bit, seeming more like a collection of lovely
European snapshots than a flowing motion picture; this is Pacino's reposeful and torturous, romantic and melancholy, English-speaking Foreign Film...
And you've
heard of pretty boy actors having to prove their acting talents? Well
for Pacino, this is the polar opposite. Though he does have some good dramatic
moments... after all, he is Al Pacino. But it's Marthe Keller's movie. And doesn't she know it!

 |
| A film that seems full of hot air until it grows on you; "Who is BOBBY DEERFIELD?" |
 |
| "Oh yes, we have them there. They're all over the streets. We build them there. We have homo factories." |
 |
| "You spend your whole life trying not to die." Martha Keller as Lillian to Al Pacino as BOBBY DEERFIELD |
 |
| Bobby Deerfield costarring Marthe Keller could be a romantic melodramatic underrated motion picture, or... |
 |
| Or an answer to sleeping pills... it's up to the viewer, and when they view it... But wake up, he's about to do a Mae West impression |
