RICHARD H KLINE ON 'THE FURY'
VIDEO CLIP FROM BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURE AT FICTION FACTORY
If you haven't been able to watch Arrow Video's Blu-Ray release of
Brian De Palma's
The Fury from last year, you can at least view a short clip from a special feature produced by
Fiction Factory, in which cinematographer
Richard H. Kline discusses working on the film. "The Fury, to me," Kline says in the video clip, "looking back now 35 years, whatever it was, in re-running it to prepare for this interview, I’m going to put it at probably one of the best pictures I’ve ever made, technically—you’re never aware of the technique. With the reality, the freshness of it. Seeing it again, it reminded me of how good it is. It really… De Palma did a terrific job of directing it, without a doubt."
There is a nice long interview article with Kline, covering his entire career, in the current issue (Vol. 10, Issue 28) of
Cinema Retro. Alas, the writer of the piece glides right on by
The Fury-- must have been conducted prior to the Arrow video and Kline's refreshed opinion of the film.
