Quick Letterboxd Thoughts: 10 Rillington Place (1971)

 Here's some quick Letterboxd thoughts for 10 RILLINGTON PLACE (1971):  https://boxd.it/1j0P3p

Although it spans most of Christie’s serial killing life, I enjoy how the film focuses on the events taking place with the Evans family.  I find too many biopics are all-inclusive and lose characterization.

I haven’t seen a lot of Attenborough’s films, but I’m beginning to see his range from POW, dinosaur enthusiast, to jolly old St. Nick.   However as shown in 10 RILLINGTON PLACE, when paired with the right camera shots, the actor is transformed into a very mesmerizing yet creepy character.  For example, when things are “normal,” the frame is upright and structured.  But once Attenborough switches from sweet old man to freaky serial killer, the camera tilts to some disorienting angles.
