Critics often cite this domestic melodrama as one
of Ray’s greatest achievements, and it stands as
his most popular and well-known film to date.
Famous in large part for James Dean’s iconic
starring role, it demonstrates Ray’s masterful
techniques with his actors (and his investment in
“The Method”), as well as his almost hallucinatory
use of color and CinemaScope. Dean plays Jim
Stark, a suburban teenage delinquent searching
to find his place within his family at home and
among his troubled peers in high school. (35mm presentation)
