Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesMost of the early scenes were filmed after production suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bradley Cooper used the time to lose 15 pounds and appear younger for the beginning of the film.
- PatzerAfter the carnival tear down, Clem invites Stanton to travel with them 20 miles as they join another carnival. Upon arriving at the new location their dinner is interrupted when the Geek escapes. Upon capturing the Geek they return him to his cage but this is the same location they left 20 miles back at the original camp. There is no way they had time to set up this building at the new location the same night they moved. Even the side room has all the formaldehyde jars set up all on shelves.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Gorgeous to look at but the original is better.
Edmund Goulding's 1947 film "Nightmare Alley" is one of my all-time favourite noirs and it's the film in which Tyrone Power certainly gave his finest performance. Of course, not having read William Lindsay Gresham's original novel I can't say how faithfully it stuck to its source material any more than I can say that this Guillermo del Toro remake, clocking in at 40 minutes longer than the first film, is a faithful adaptation. I did expect del Toro's version to be more 'explicit' than Goulding's but would it capture the seedy vibe of the deliciously unpleasant 1947 classic or would this simply look like a 21st century over-art-directed period piece?
The good news is, that in typical del Toro fashion, it looks great and the period detail is perfectly captured without seeming overdone and it's also brilliantly cast. Bradley Cooper is a lot less appealing than Power as the carny with a dubious past and an uncertain future, which is just as it should be, while as the three women who impact on his life, Toni Collette, Rooney Mara and especially Cate Blanchett are all excellent and there's first-rate work from Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins and, walking off with the picture, David Strathairn.
The bad news is del Toro certainly drags it out. This is definitely a movie that could do with some trimming and worse, apparently there's an even longer director's cut out there somewhere. It's a good yarn and it's well told and as remakes go, it's a cut above but it won't supplant Goulding's classic in my affections nor does it approach "The Shape of Water" in del Toro's canon.
