Lincoln
The phenomenal Daniel Day-Lewis plays Lincoln with the immersive, indelible
power of an actor who wears his role like a second skin and feels it down to the
nerve endings. This is acting of the highest order.
In Steven Spielberg's brilliant, brawling epic about the last four months in the
life of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln takes a few hits up there on his
marble pedestal. Political double-dealing was not beyond this American icon, not
when his country was struggling in the darkness.
It is a nest of high politics for the white ruling class, far from the brutality and chaos of the battlefield. At its centre is a gaunt Shakespearian figure, somewhere between Caesar and Prospero.
