Tired Old Queen at the Movies: Rebel Without a Cause


Steve Hayes reviews:
James Dean gives an iconic performance in Nicholas Ray’s classic study of troubled youth Rebel Without A Cause (1955). With able Oscar-nominated support from Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, it’s the story of a teenage misfit who moves to a new town and must juggle the pressures of an unhappy home life and his peers at school. Dean never lived to see his most famous screen role, which has served as the basis for countless movies about teenage rebelliousness ever since.

Certainly a seminal film in terms of its treatment of youth and masculinity. The guy was hot - just plain hot. What a waste.

There's another one I've not seen in its entirety - I have some catching up to do.
