Rain Man**
(US 1988)
A car dealer discovers after his estranged father dies, that he has an autistic elder brother whom he abducts to try and get his half of the inheritance.
Slick if slightly superficial study of autism which serve as the incidental plot element to essentially a road movie with two quirkily matched stars, and an ostentatious performance by Hoffman, strong enough to win him the Oscar. It threatens to turn sentimental but never really manages it, which in this case is perhaps a shame, as the characters remain as polarized by the end as they were at the beginning.
Written by: Ronald Bass, Barry Morrow.
Producer: Mark Gordon.
Director: Barry Levinson.
Starring: Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Valeria Golino, Gerald R. Molen, Lucinda Jenney, Barry Levinson.
Photography: John Seale.
Music: Hans Zimmer.
