North
(1994)
|
Steve Simels
|
A ridiculously obvious satirical fable about a sixth grader on a global quest to find a new set of parents, North is lousy with cultural stereotypes, and top-heavy with gratuitous celebrity casting.

Confrontations between ”crude” parent and ”sophisticated” child have long been a dramatic commonplace, but both actresses seem hell-bent to get to the core of their characters.

Something may be missing in Spielberg’s life, and this could be his attempt to address it. But the central myth he’s peddling here is a hokey Victorian conceit that insults both children and adults.

The Invisible Man

Whale’s playful and innovative trick photography (using wires and mattes that have now become standard issues) and Rains’ virtuoso performance, nearly entirely vocal, turn his tragedy of transparency into something touching and timeless.

While Neeson may be missing, he’s not exactly missed. Vosloo’s subtle Euro-flavored performance is just as effective as Neeson’s overblown turn as the bandaged, trench-coated hero.
