DeNiro.
Pacino.
Mann.
The only question one can ask about Heat is where it lies in the Top 5 best movies of all time list. Number 1? I would argue that it’s held back from the number one spot by its shitty cinematography. Maybe that’s not the right word. The transfer to video…it looks like crap. Even the Special Edition, All Singing All Dancing DVD looks like shit. Why is this?
Anyone?
In an effort to guage Mann’s true genius I have embarked upon a Mann film festival this evening featuring Miami Vice, Collateral and Man Hunter.
