Rebel Without A Cause
(Nicholas Ray, 1955, USA, 35mm, 111 min)
James Dean achieved iconic status for his starring turn in Ray's searing study of teenage alienation in mid-century America. As the titular rebel, Dean is all coiled tension and Method-inspired angst, the perfect embodiment of restless, troubled youth. Natalie Wood plays Dean's love interest while Sal Mineo memorably incarnates the film's doomed innocent. Unerringly executed and rich in its symbolic use of colorDean's red windbreaker sets him apart in any crowdRebel Without a Cause is a stylist's rendition of the socially conscious melodrama. This anguished portrait of the American nuclear family has become an enduring emblem of the very decade it sought to question.
