The Late/Great Robin Williams delivers a dramatic, challenging & ultimately mesmerizing performance in 'Boulevard'. The acting legend, who we tragically lost a year ago, makes us remember once again that he was an actor, who had the range that a very few do.
'Boulevard' Synopsis: A devoted husband in a marriage of convenience is forced to confront his secret life.
'Boulevard' works well as a film too. Its definitely depressing, but there are some confounding moments here too. Its slow-paced for sure, but watching the protagonist's struggle with his sexuality & life, holds your attention. You feel for him & Williams's performance anchors the show.
Douglas Soesbe's Screenplay is quite good. Even the dialogue, are natural. Dito Montiel's Direction is skilled. Cinematography is competently done. Editing is well-done.
Performance-Wise: Its Williams all the way. But even the supporting cast deliver incredibly. Kathy Baker is nothing short of astonishing in her portrayal of Williams's long-suffering wife. Her subtlety leaves you heartbroken. Bob Odenkirk is in good form too. Roberto Aguire is a revelation. He enacts a rather difficult part, with remarkable understanding.
On the whole, 'Boulevard' is a compelling watch, with a towering performance by Williams.
