Fatal Attraction (1987)
linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema
This November is “No Nut November” at Catching Up On Cinema!
All month long, we'll be reviewing erotic thrillers from the 80's and 90's!
This week we kick things off with a review Adrian Lyne's, Fatal Attraction (1987)!
A wildly successful erotic thriller from genre maestro Adrian Lyne, Fatal Attraction (1987) is by no means the first of its kind, however it can easily be pointed to as one of the most important and influential to the mainstream proliferation of the subgenre.
Featuring Michael Douglas, who would soon find himself occupying the enviable role of the poster boy for erotic thriller leading men, as well as the at the time surging Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction (1987) is an exceedingly handsome thriller, in terms of both the aesthetic charms of its cast, as well as in terms of its crisp lighting and cinematography.
In spite of the quality of performance and raw filmmaking talent poured into the film, Fatal Attraction is nevertheless a somewhat strange film to evaluate in 2022.
Featuring a vague portrayal of mental illness in the form of Glenn Close's, Alex, as well an adulterous protagonist in the form of Michael Douglas', Dan, Fatal Attraction's narrative arc and tendency to look up upon the character of Dan in a positive/sympathetic light, may be difficult pills for contemporary audiences to swallow.
In spite of its somewhat dated cultural perspectives, Fatal Attraction is a superior erotic thriller possessed of fantastic production values and engaging drama that never veers into disingenuous melodrama.
An exciting and highly profitable film that would ensure that director, star, and subgenre alike would occupy an important niche in Hollywood for years to come.
