43. Critic After Dark: The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973) Whether or not the director (william friedkin) truly approves is a matter of speculation*; whether or not the additions actually improve the movie well, http://criticafterdark.blogspot.com/2007/02/exorcist-william-friedkin-1973.html

skip to main skip to sidebar Critic After Dark Reviews of Philippine movies, new movies, foreign film releases, DVDs, and other grotesqueries Monday, February 19, 2007 The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973) Scary movie? (Warning: story discussed in detail). When The Exorcist that sensational horror flick about a girl possessed by a demonfirst screened in the early '70s it was touted as the most frightening film ever made; for almost thirty years that reputation has heldhas, if anything, grown. Right off, I disliked the digital effects; it's coming to the point that I dislike practically any kind of digital effectsfor me they're a form of cheating, of pushbutton magic. The superimposition of demonic faces on some of the quieter scenes is distracting, and so is the low, almost subsonic tone you hear at certain points (to add, I suppose, an "ominous atmosphere" to the scene). The film worked perfectly fine without them, and seeing and hearing these additions pointedly remind you that this is a film you're watching, one that has been 'new' and 'improved.' Early on there's a never-before-seen scene of the girl Regan (Linda Blair) being given a medical exam. Blatty in an interview tells us this helps establish that Regan already has health and psychological problems, but all it actually establishes is just how inadequate an actress Linda Blair was at that time. When she snarls at the clinic staff her delivery is wooden, not startlingas if she was saying things the meaning of which she had no idea (which was probably the case, Blair being fourteen at that time).

Friedkin Out Bill Krohn Double, Double In many ways the last word on Cruising was said the year it was released (1980) in Robin Wood's amazingly clear-eyed Movie essay ‘The Incoherent Text’, which is reprinted in his book Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan . In any case, it's not my intention to quarrel with Wood's analysis; rather, I'd like to deepen it by bringing in materials Wood didn't have access to – script drafts, production reports, script supervisor notes and editing notes in the William Friedkin Collection of the Margaret Herrick Library. Wood argues that the film is progressive for its time on topics like police brutality against gays, and that its form is an important part of what makes it progressive. He links the film's incoherence, which he sees as deliberate on the filmmaker's part, to the critique it is making of patriarchy and its corollaries: homophobia, repression of gays and the warping of gay and straight relationships by relations of domination and inequality. I am less interested in restating Wood's thematic analysis than I am in the one page he devotes to incoherent form – specifically to the detective story side of the plot, which he argues is incoherent both in its progress (‘fractured’) and its conclusions. 1.
