Description
4K Digital Restoration!Academy Award for Best Director!
James Dean burns through the wide Texas plains in this searing Western-style soap opera boasting an all-star cast: Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Dennis Hopper, and Dean himself. A wealthy rancher (Hudson) brings his lovely new East Coast wife (Taylor) back home to Texas, where she soon grows disturbed by the land’s emptiness, violence, and racism. It’s a virile cowhand (Dean, of course) who most disturbs her, however, leading to an inevitable confrontation between husband, wife, workers, and family. One of the greatest American films of the 1950s, Giant was Dean’s final film; released after his death, it solidified his immortality.
• Written by Fred Guiol, Ivan Moffat based on the novel by Edna Ferber. Photographed by William C. Mellor. With Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Mercedes McCambridge. (201 mins, Color, 4K DCP, From Warner Bros.)
