In Reply to: Frankenheimer's "Seconds" ... posted by sidorowicz on April 13, 2003 at 21:27:10:
Sid,"Seconds" does not contain any more violnece than an episode of "Leave it to Beaver", but does have an amazing atmosphere of intense existential angst- penetrating questions of ego, existence, and identity- the very purpose of life.
As interesting as it would be to discuss what happens and the techniques that achieve this intensity, if you enjoy Hitchock, imagine the relentless tension of that- but without Hitchcock's humour and optimism. Or imagine a long, long modern extension of Hamlet's "to be" soliloquy.
A fascinating allegory of the very despondent side of 20th Century America.
Best seen in a positive frame of mind as this movie could dwell in your thoughts for days.
Cheers,Bambi B
