The Sting by Matthew Specktor (Deep Focus #3)
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.6MB
Overview: From Melville to Madoff, the Confidence Man is an essential American archetype. George Roy Hill’s 1973 film The Sting treats this theme with a characteristic dexterity. The movie was warmly received in its time, winning seven Academy Awards, but there were some who thought the movie was nothing more than a slight throwback. Pauline Kael, among others, felt Hill’s film was mechanical and contrived: a callow and manipulative attempt to recapture the box-office success of Robert Redford and Paul Newman’s prior pairing, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.
Matthew Specktor’s passionate, lyric meditation turns The Sting on its head, on its side, and right side up in an effort to unpack the film’s giddy complexity and secret, melancholic heart. Working off interviews with screenwriter David S. Ward and producer Tony Bill, and tacking from nuanced interpretation of its arching moods and themes to gimlet eyed observation of its dizzying sleights of hand, Specktor opens The Sting up to disclose the subtle and stunning dimensions sexual, political, and aesthetic of Hill’s best film.
Genre: Non-Fiction, Film, Film Criticism
