Der Tod eines Handlungsreisenden (TV Movie 1985)
12KDer Tod eines Handlungsreisenden: Directed by Volker Schlöndorff. With Dustin Hoffman, Kate Reid, John Malkovich, Stephen Lang. An aging traveling salesman recognizes the emptiness of his life and tries to fix it.
“Arthur Milleru0026#39;s compelling work is deftly translated to the small screen here, with riveting performances by Dustin Hoffman as Willy Loman, Kate Reid as Willyu0026#39;s wife Linda, and John Malkovich as the prodigal son Biff. This work touches my soul on several levels: sympathy for the fallen man Willy, understanding of the difficulty of both hating your father and wanting him to be proud of you as Biff shows, and the ever-protective enabler Linda, who defends Willy even as she sees him failing before her eyes. Miller took a simple American family struggling to make life work, and made each character in their own way extraordinary.”
