Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: a road movie with Kevin Costner
In 1993, Clint Eastwood chained records at the box office as a director. After the success of Merciless, it brings in 135 million dollars worldwide thanks to A Perfect World (produced for 30 million). In France, the film totaled more than 3 million admissions.
First proposed to Steven Spielberg, A perfect world finally lands in the hands of Clint Eastwood, who agrees to stage the unexpected bond that develops between a criminal on the run and his hostage, a little boy, a Jehovah’s Witness.
More than a detective film on the hunt for bandits, it is above all a nice story about a father-son relationship, very rightly carried by Kevin Costner (in a counter-intuitive role following his performances in Danse with Wolves, Robin Hood, JFK or even Bodyguard) and TJ Lowther.
Two years before Sur la route de Madison, Clint Eastwood has already produced a poignant work, told with sensitivity and incredible attention to detail.
With an average viewer rating of 4.1/5, A perfect world is one of Clint Eastwood’s best-rated feature films by AlloCiné viewers.
