Synopsis
“Manifesto” is director Chris Ward’s 100th film, co-directed with first-timer Ben Leon, and heroes abound throughout this powerful masterwork. François Sagat, Huessein and Remy Delaine dominate, but strength teems from all of the men. The directors rely on them to keep the heat focused and forceful, each scene delivering a major wallop, but as it has been in 99 previous films, it’s the animalistic sway of the horned-up guys that really direct the proceedings.
Packed to the gills with macho men, Mr. Ward is putting a grand exclamation point on a career of excellence. Has any director ever made so much of a plain black set? Probably not, so that’s where “Manifesto” is done. When he travels outside of the box (notably in “Arabesque”), the results are no less astounding, but for this centennial reminder of just how fucking good he is, he lets the work speak for itself. No frills or extravagant sets, nothing but the men and the talent behind the camera — all so potent it’s almost three-dimensional.
