RodrigAndrisan Review of The Driver's Seat

The Driver's Seat (1974)

It makes you want her to die quickly just that the film ends

[5/10 · 26 April 2016]

Another film difficult to follow. The reason? Because it is boring to death. Instead of happening on screen, death, the death of Elizabeth Taylor's character, it overwhelms us, the audience, at least those gifted with discernment. I was in love with Elizabeth Taylor when I was a teenager, just'd seen her in The Taming of the Shrew, when it was at the peak of her voluptuousness woman (she was 35 then...). Here, at age 42, she still has some charm but, thanks to a scenario without a little salt and pepper, we all suffer from it, the actors, the fans, everyone. Giuseppe Patroni Griffi is a good director, he knows his job well(I enjoyed The Divine Nymph (1975) Divina creatura (original title) very much...) but, what can you do with a bad poor script? Not much! There is also a Andy Warhol in it, a small appearance in Klaus Kinski's style but, far from the great talent and personality of Kinski. Only for forever lovers of the unique Liz with those violet eyes .
