Blu-ray Review - The Plot Against Harry

H7

1970's "The Plot Against Harry" has an interesting exhibition history. The picture was shot in 1969, with writer/director Michael Roemer confident in the process, but initial reaction to the movie was muted at best. The effort was eventually shelved after a single theater release in 1971. In 1989, Roemer was inspired to try again, submitting the feature to film festivals, where it acquired a second life and critical praise. Roemer's endeavor was revived, finally reaching audiences, and it's quality work from the helmer, who submits a fast-paced study of building pressure on a criminal trying to balance the chaos of his life. It's a sharply acted and textured understanding of stress, with Roemer taking the material to weird and wild places of conflict and control. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
