A Streetcar Named Desire
Directed by Elia Kazan
1951
★ 8.4 editorial score
Three of its four leads won Academy Awards and the fourth was Brando: this is where screen acting stopped being theatrical and started being something else entirely.
“Despite the overwhelming power of Brando's performance, "Streetcar" is one of the great ensemble pieces in the movies...Watching the film is like watching a Shakespearean tragedy. Of course the outcome is predestined, but everything is in the style by which the characters arrive there.”
