The Crucible (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col 123m
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Joan Allen, Paul Scofield, Winona Ryder
Synopsis:
Fear strikes the heart of the community in an early New England Puritan settlement, when adolescent girls are found conjuring evil spirits in the woods.
Review:
Like the great theatre that it is, Miller's McCarthyist allegory is so much more than a comment on its times. On film, though, it seems to demand that extra relevance still, and what remains is merely a decent, creditable translation of one of the most powerful studies of human superstition and bigotry ever written.
