East of Eden

East of Eden is an enthralling portrait of Dean before death that accounts for his three picture powerful iconography.  His Cal is one of the strangest performances I have seen, a tortured boy wonder for the ages.  John Steinbeck’s East of Eden is a monster of middle American lore, not an easy pill to swallow, but worthy of its spirits in Kazan’s very human portrayal of a fractured young soul’s search for reconciliation with parents who never properly loved him.
