“This film got me from the first frame to the last. Itu0026#39;s not even because of the story (which I love, of course) – itu0026#39;s just so very well made. And so modern. The kind of angles and perspectives the camera uses, the way it zooms in and out or even allows itself (literally) to get dirty – the way this whole picture was shot is just something I havenu0026#39;t seen in an American film released prior to this one. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd yet, although it is considered a classic, when people talk about the u0026quot;New Hollywoodu0026quot; somehow u0026#39;Cool Hand Lukeu0026#39; is hardly ever mentioned – despite the fact that it came out only a couple of months after u0026#39;Bonnie and Clydeu0026#39; in 1967 and before u0026#39;The Graduateu0026#39;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI look at this film mainly as a character study but the story arc also works very well and it hasnu0026#39;t aged a bit. This is one of those rare films that was way ahead of its time and which has simply everything: great acting, iconic characters and scenes, wonderful music – and the cinematography is just unbelievable. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFunny, tragic and moving, u0026#39;Cool Hand Lukeu0026#39; is one hell of a film. What weu0026#39;ve got here is NOT failure to communicate – but a 10 star masterpiece.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite films: http://www.IMDb.com/list/mkjOKvqlSBs/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLesser-known Masterpieces: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070242495/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite Low-Budget and B-Movies: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls054808375/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite TV-Shows reviewed: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls075552387/”
