Under the Volcano (Criterion) Review

I just wrote a short DVD review for the 1984 film Under the Volcano, which starred Albert Finney and was directed by John Huston. It is up on Greencine.com's Guru blog now. Here's a brief excerpt of my review (which may or may not be entirely coherent):

Under the Volcano was Huston's 34th feature film, and he would only make two more before his death (including The Dead, based on a story by James Joyce). Ultimately, this is a fairly coherent film about a nearly incoherent man living a rather incoherent life who will soon die an entirely incoherent death (late one night in the rain).
