ReviewsVariety - Parker pushes the picture along at a fervent clip, with the character scenes back-to-back with chases or violence., New York Times - Insistent [...] MISSISSIPPI BURNING is first-rate, Washington Post - MISSISSIPPI BURNING surveys the geography of racism, sheds light on the dark night of the soul., Sight and Sound - An almost visionary intensity
Additional InformationIn 1964, when three civil-rights workers, two white and one black, mysteriously disappear while driving through Mississippi, two FBI agents, Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Anderson (Gene Hackman), are sent in to investigate. While Ward is young and by the book, Anderson is a seasoned southerner comfortable with the Byzantine (and, to Ward, morally ambiguous) ways of his region. Together they sift through a variety of leads and come up empty-handed--until the town sheriff's wife (Frances McDormand) steps forward and reveals some surprising information. In order to solve the case, the two contrasting agents must not only overcome the hostility of the local authorities and the black community but contend with their own differences as well.<BR>A fictionalized account of one of the landmarks in the civil-rights movement, MISSISSIPPI BURNING is a swift and powerful film. Director Alan Parker, continuing his investigation of human cruelty (begun explosively in his harrowing 1978 film MIDNIGHT EXPRESS), crafts a historically poignant film that fingers the monstrosities of a virulent strain of racial intolerance in America. Dafoe and Hackman are convincing as they investigate the disappearance of the civil-rights workers and unravel the grisly web of obfuscation around a scandalous, cancerous truth very near the heart of a nation.

Fantastic movie
Gene Hackman , not for the first time, steals a movie with a great performance. Defoe is excellent too but Hackman’s veteran southern cop turned FBI man is why you keep watching. Based on a true story, Mississippi Burning is brutal and entertaining. Superb movie.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Mississippi Burning
Gene Hackman; Willem Dafoe; Frances McDormand; Three civil rights activists go missing deep in Ku Klux Klan country, the FBI are called in to investigate. Agents Ward and Anderson are far apart in their approach to the investigation, one works by-the-book, the other more distrusting with and willing cut corners to get the job done. Facing an uncooperative local police force and a community that is afraid to speak out, their investigation sparks violent repercussions as they edge ever closer to the truth. A good cast headed by Gene Hackman.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
