The Third Man

The Third Man... a film noir drama/thriller that sets place in Postwar Vienna, Austria, when pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to Vienna, only to find himself investigating a death of old friend.
A breathtaking cinema experience, vivid, occupies all your senses and mind, classic that succeeds on almost every level.
Story is exciting, easy but on the other hand powerful and grabbing, not quite anything that world has seen before.
Having dark tone, suspense builds upon every scene, making story become more sensitive and intriguing after every minute.
Joseph Cotten really nails this role, Orson Welles well, of course not on the Citizen Kane level, but still spectacular acting skills, making this movie look even more thrilling, also the presence of loving woman character/Alida Walli makes this movie twice as dramatic.
Score capturing perfectly the emotions and doubling the worth of each action, creating synthetic, suspenseful atmosphere that making it easier for audience to keep a track on the story.
The Third Man is a powerful movie experience, with great storytelling, directing, everything is perfect in this late 40s drama/thriller movie, one of the finest movies that British cinema has ever offered.

Rating: 4/4
