Hemingway Night press pack .pdf

from The Desert Sun June 25, 2009 by Bruce Fessier Mairs, interim dean of the school of film/video at Cal Arts, brilliantly takes a wordy screenplay best suited for an intimate play and gives it the pacing and structure of great drama. Jan Johnson, as Leon, and David Nordstrom, as Terry, seem as rehearsed as Broadway actors, using nuances to keep the dialogue interesting until the conflict produces sparks, and Tom Block’s screenplay unfolds like great literature. This is one of those rare intelligent films that is easily embraced.
