The idea of a movie about an American communist produced by a major studio seemed at one time impossible—until Reds went on to be nominated for twelve Oscars® and win three, including one for director (and star, producer and co-writer, Warren Beatty). This glorious epic, photographed by the incomparable Vittorio Storaro, is an overwhelming big-screen experience shown in a sparkling new 35mm print on the 25th anniversary of its release.
The story of journalist John Reed (Beatty) and his love affair with political activist Louise Bryant (Diane Keaton), set against the background of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, Reds brilliantly captures the sense of an old world dying while an exciting new one is trying to be born. With a star-studded cast including Jack Nicholson as Eugene O’Neill, Maureen Stapleton (Oscar® for Best Supporting Actress) as Emma Goldman, and the late novelist Jerzy Kosinski as the Soviet official Zinoviev, as well as a host of real life “witnesses” to history.
