93Layers of potent sadness in this picture, and it's all sourced from the actors. Frank Sinatra's brutal, lonely demeanor. Shirley MacLaine's tragic complexity. Dean Martin as a drunken rambler, a catalyst for the tension to break and expand across these wide Minnelli frames. There's not much plot here for a film based on a 1,200 page novel but the depth of feeling is immense. Watching it, I felt like I couldn't reach the bottom, with every subsequent scene re-contextualizing the last. Final sequence is explosive, sure, but the lingering intimacy is what got to me - a grave forever written in painful memories and vicious regret.
