Title: Bates is captivating
Product review: To begin with, I'm not certain which movie the previous reviewer was talking about, but it certainly wasn't "The Shout" with Alan Bates."The Shout" centers upon the actions of a quiet and mysterious traveler, who, after many years in the Australian Outback, arrives in a rural English town and takes temporary housing with a local couple.Told in retrospect from a mental institution, Bates' sophisticated but dark character unravels a tale that seems, at first, to be the musings of a disturbed megalomaniac. However, as we are drawn into his world, we are inclined to wonder if a clear line can be drawn between fantasy and reality.The movie is powerful, yet subtle and weaves an atmosphere of quiet tension.
