A film by Jerzy Skolimowski . With Susannah York, John Hurt , Tim Curry, Alan Bates, Robert Stephens Episode The Shout. Drama, 87 min duration. - Great Britain 1978. hospitalized in a psychiatric British, a man claiming to be able to kill with a shout, as they do the Aborigines of Australia.
A scream can be understood as many things meant as demonstrations of many different moods: scream of joy, pleasure, sorrow, excitement. But what makes Charles Crossley with his scream "terrifying" is beyond belief. After spending 18 years together with the Australian aborigines, Crossely becomes a man old in a new land (Australia) a new man in an old land, which dramatically changes the lives of Mr and Mrs Fielding before bringing new sensations even terrible. The fire is out of their life again thanks to the mystery that carries Crossley, son of mystery 18 years of magical practices, customs Indigenous most powerful scientific value that Fielding lay almost in a "God Almighty. More powerful, not because older, but why still put into practice with physical and spiritual fervor of the characters shocking, characters that have marked the life of Crossely indelibly. 
That The Shout (scream in fact) is a mystical movie but one that seeks to analyze the relationship between God and man through the consequences that this relationship brings forth. "Divine" there is very little film is a passionate, very physical, but in fact God can be manifested through their bodies and emotions completely earthly men that despite the desire to elevate above matter, turn to God because it interferes on their material needs. For this Crossley questions the value of the soul, the soul that he has seen it manifest itself in many forms of earth, not rightly understand why and how they should be released when it knows that it already is. It is no coincidence that this freedom of the soul is perceived, understood and accepted by an "idiot", a foreign misunderstood belief that Western social enclose the definition of "crazy". It 's the value of purity and naturalness of this idiot who keeps the preciousness of the soul never understood as something that belongs to the man but instead has the man. It is the cry
a form of liberation that kills. But most of the sound is to kill the evil force that his body should expel, a force that ordinary human beings do not know they possess. Crossley has figured out how to find and how to control it, but the forces of earth, the human impusli know how to be even stronger.
The Shout has its rough environments most of its charm, and Jerzy Skolimowski using the shell beautifully the nature of landscapes and events and transforms them into something scary, quiet, small but powerful. The sparse scenery makes it easy to focus on the history and magnificent performances by Alan Bates, Susannah York and John Hurt with humility that are carried away by events led and lulled by the iron hand of Skolimowski. The actual feeling of charm and mysticism, however, leaves sometimes dominated by a vague sense of hermetic self-satisfied, a game of "do not mean to say" too little is made that sometimes spontaneous. But the hypnotic charm of Alan Bates makes you forget every imperfection. Cinema can not always give interpretations so subdued, quiet and beautiful, and the Charles Crossley Bates is one such rarity.
