Here’s a look at a few award-winning performances within a pair of new home entertainment disc movie releases.— Director John Schlesinger’s simmering, Nazi-infested thriller from 1976 debuts on the ultra-high definition disc packed with star power and some new and very classic extras.
The film will be remembered for Olivier’s Academy Award- nominated and Golden Globe-winning performance as the villainous Dr. Christian Szell, and for one of the most memorable torture scenes in the history of cinema that probably left some audience members unable to visit a dentist for years. Mr. Mitchell is a first-person resource for the period, and listeners get a heavy dose of Big Apple history as he was living there at the time of the film. The pair also touches on the screenplay drafts; the violence; actor backgrounds; comparisons to the book; scene breakdowns including the torture segments; Mr. Hoffman working with Olivier; and shooting scenes in Los Angeles to look like New York.
Mr. Fraser plays Charlie, a morbidly obese recluse who teaches English online but never with the camera turned on. Unable to control his weight and food addiction and with only a single close friend who is as enabling as critical of his predicament, he has one remaining wish before potentially succumbing to congestive heart failure.
Although the film offers an empathic and well-rounded portrayal of Charlie, his plight and redemption, it’s also an infuriating narrative to watch unfold. His circumstances help highlight an immobile and rampant fast-food society that now exists and allows humans to economically eat themselves to death.
