"A Glow of Prophecy"
Anthony Lane's 1993
review of Indecent Proposal, his first piece for
The New Yorker. Lane is at his best when he pounces on a really bad movie, like squirm-in-your-seat, make you wanna puke bad. I've been enjoying the paperback edition of
Nobody's Perfect for the last week. While I doubt he'll ever be a great film critic a la Kael or Agee, he certainly is one of the most entertaining writers on the planet.
