A classic

Since I’m a huge fan of Michael Caine, I was really eager to check this movie which belongs to his classics. Indeed, since this movie had a really solid reputation, I had some rather high expectations but, to be honest, I thought it was actually slightly disappointing. Of course, it was better than the remake starring Jude Law but, somehow, I had a hard time to get into this movie. Personally, I... read more

Alfie

A corrosive portrait of a misogynist getting his comeuppance, Alfie is a minor late-60s work anchored by a wonderful Michael Caine performance. Caine gives a layered, complex performance that finds Alfie’s toxic masculinity, unwarranted arrogance, and gross sexism smothering a deep insecurity and contradictory fourth-wall breaking justifications. He is infinitely better than the rest of this hed... read more

“What’s it all about, Alfie?” Michael Caine delivers one of his most iconic performances in this swinging-sixties classic. He plays the shameless cockney lothario who gets a real-world wake-up call as he begins to understand the consequences of his womanizing ways. A vivid portrait of London at its hedonistic height, this irony-tinged seriocomedy succeeds thanks to Caine’s roguish charm in a bravura turn that propelled him to international stardom. The memorable score is by jazz great Sonny Rollins.

Alfie

“A corrosive portrait of a misogynist getting his comeuppance, Alfie is a minor late-60s work anchored by a wonderful Michael Caine performance. Caine gives a layered, complex performance that finds Alfie’s toxic masculinity, unwarranted arrogance, and gross sexism smothering a deep insecurity and contradictory fourth-wall breaking justifications. He is infinitely better than the rest of this hedonistic glimpse of Swinging London.   Perhaps it’s because our main character is so nearly off-putting that I couldn’t embrace Alfie. It’s hard to care about a narrative when the main character is so nearly without redeeming qualities to counterbalance. It becomes an exercise in endurance of one man’s bad behavior and his seemingly unwillingness or purposeful blindness to the damage he” read more
