In Reply to: What is that acting technique? posted by rhizomatic on January 07, 2004 at 08:29:09:
if you have seen "Homicide" and "House of Games", two Mamet films I particularly admire.
Follow Ups:
I saw House of Games. I didn't think the ending was particularly neat--at least not as neat as you're led to anticipate--and once again I just didn't care for the direction. I want to like David Mamet, and I'm never averse to watching his movies (for some reason), but he really grates. I found The Spanish Prisoner to be endlessly annoying. I just don't get his direction. Maybe I was somewhat absolutist in my post above; I'd be curious to hear what you find appealing about his direction, in particular. Because, like I said, besides that I think his movies have all the parts necessary to be really fine.

I guess I am more of a fan of his writing, dialog, and plot than his direction. Plus he uses many of the same actors over and over (Montegna, William H. Macy) and I enjoy seeing how they are cast and work together in different films.But do give "Homicide" a try. It is so purely evil that it ranks right up there with "Chinatown". And the dialog is almost poetic.
