talk radio is my favorite oliver stone movie and though he has made many great ones including salvador and jfk and natural born killers and platoon. but i like the intimacy of talk radio and a cinematic expansion of eric bogosian searing stage play that was based on a real life account of a dallas talk show host. working with ace cinematographer robert richardson and stone turns what could have been a very set bound exercise into a visually arresting ideological battle that presents a radio station as an arena of war. bogosian is devastating as tortured on air spouter of abuse barry champlain and conveys the conflicted and destructive nature of his character with conviction and a generous dose of self loathing. alec baldwin and as his alpha male boss and strikes the perfect note as a man driven nuts by a guy whose monstrousness he helped nurture. ellen greene is fantastic as barry sweet ex wife who ends up becoming another target of his vicious personal vitriol. stone and bogosian fill every frame with interest and every line of dialog with sweet poison and cutting ambiguity. john c. mcginley and as barry long suffering screener or technical producer stu and turns in a hilarious and sharp performance and as does the great michael wincott. the film is a flawless and underrated masterpiece of superb writing and awesome acting and brutal and uncompromising direction. the stewart copeland score is brilliant and too.
