Review of Archangel (1990)
Seen in 2026.
A Canadian soldier with amnesia fights for the Bolsheviks in 1919.
There are impulses to find some amusement in this curious melodrama, but instead of rising to the level of J’accuse! (1919), it falls to the level of Dhalgren (1975) by an unrepentant artificiality that seems to have no referent.
