Review of The Family

The Family (1970)
6/10
Aimless, but with some imaginative sequences.
3 November 1999
One of Bronson's oddest films, but still not as odd as Morricone's ultra-weird score. The plot is standard "revenge" stuff, but there are some imaginatively shot sequences (like the unexpected finale) by the Italian Sollima, who shows some flair. The fast-cutting, "neurotic" editing is clumsy, however, and reminded me of the editing in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", which was made one year earlier. The widescreen photography really suffers on TV.
