Duvall is superb in Falling Down. His genteel cop, on the cusp of retirement, representing a throwback to a better America that offsets the unhinged rage of the unhinged Michael Douglas white collar worker

A rare 90s film that has become relevant again in the age of MAGA and Internet trolls.

Robert Duvall, the supporting actor turned star who worked in masterpieces for 60 years

No one over 60 can survive in a soul-sucking machine like Hollywood unless they are one of the chosen. And Robert Duvall was, though he was never recognized as one of the greatest actors of his time. The Californian, who died this Monday at the age of 95, endured from 1962, working into his later years, and always managed to appear in some of the best films of his time, with characters he filled with savage naturalism, whether as Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now or as the Corleone family consigliere in The Godfather. Hollywood press today bids him farewell as an 'actor's actor' who inspired peers such as Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman or Gene Hackman, and his family as a lover of the good life: 'For the world, he was an Oscar-winning actor, a director and a storyteller. For me, he was everything,' lamented his widow, Luciana Duvall. His passion for his craft only...

Robert Duvall, la sensación de peligro con el aura de la calma

Ha hecho más de un centenar de películas, a pesar de que llegó ya a una edad en la que nadie se refirió a él como 'el joven actor Robert Duvall '. Su juventud la dedicó al teatro y a prepararse para poder decir veinticinco años después aquello de 'Me encanta el olor del napalm por la mañana' con la misma importancia que Brando el monólogo de Julio César. Se ha muerto a los noventa y cinco años recién cumplidos y ha estado en la brega de la interpretación hasta hace muy poco, y en sus últimas películas 'Doce huérfanos', 'Los crímenes de la academia' y 'Garra', aunque nonagenario, mantenía aún esa puesta en escena tan imperturbable del coronel Kilgore en 'Apocalypse Now' al que le gustaba el olor del napalm. Su primer papel en el cine ya fue inolvidable, el de Boo Radley en 'Matar a un ruiseñor', y con él provocaba esos dos sentimientos incompatibles que le acompañaron en muchas de sus películas, el miedo y la bondad.
