Rating: - Disturbing and funny at the same time.
I first saw this on VHS many years ago and was ready to see it again right away because I thought I'd missed the point. I've seen it many time since. It is dark and yet funny since almost everyone in it has some bizarre behavior at some point. The acting is top notch, though I wasn't crazy about the ending. I would at least see it once if you haven't already.

Rating: - Bizzare, Grotesque, Disturbing...And Yet Strangely Brilliant
Reflections in a Golden Eye is a film based on the Carson McCullers novel of the same name. It surrounds the lives of Major Penderton (Brando) a repressed homosexual married to an unsympathetic, emasculating woman-Lenora (Liz Taylor), who is having an affair with Lt. Langdon whose wife Alision, has descended into self-mutilation-cutting off her nipples with garden shears-unable to come to terms with the loss of her child. As the movie begins the audience is greeted with an eerie musical score and is introduced to Private Williams a loner who seems to have a predilection for horses-among other things. ... Read More
Rating: - A Daring Film Classic
"Reflecions in a Golden Eye" is a deliberately slow moving, moody, atmospheric rendition of a literay classic. Critics and audiences were not impressed in 1967, when it was first released. But to compare it to international masterpieces such as Luis Bunuel's films, Carl Theodore Dreyer's (The Passion of Joan of Arc)masterpieces, and even Ingmar Bergman's unforgetable views into the dark psyche of "normal" and "abnormal" people, is to realize how close to the mark John Huston was. The acting by the four principles is truly moving. I'll never forget Brando's expression after his wife's horse throws him. ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliance
A film that will come of age one day. Human extremes bring self examination. Executed with gut, ahead of of it's time then, and sadly, still. It's style's influence can be seen in the 70's heyday, but never matched. Taylor preps V.Wolf, Julie Harris finally snaps! and Brando puncuates his previous work with unforseen skill, offering his first and only 100 percent. A man's portrait still unrivaled.
Where are the Huston DVD's? Not the Noir. Criterion? Esp. this one. Is this film stock decaying?
