	Robert Benton @ Filmbug

	Human Stain and Robert Benton and Jean-Yves Escoffier and Miramax and Technique and Stephen Nakamura and Grass Valley ...
		Oscar-winning director Robert Benton was devastated at the death of cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier earlier this year from heart failure shortly after the two had completed working together on Benton's new film for Miramax, The Human Stain.
		Given his relationship with Escoffier, Benton was content to simply articulate his visual concept for the dark and complex story based on a Philip Roth novel about a college professor in a small New England town who has a secret.
		Benton, for his part, is convinced that he already has a better visual product, and he insists that is mainly because of Escoffier's in-camera contribution and his firm guidance of the digital intermediate process.

	BAD COMPANY (1972) - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Benton is better as a visual stylist; while it's hard to go wrong with DP Gordon Willis, he puts the man to unusual uses and composes pictures of antiqued weirdness.
		And Benton's approach to the actors and their roles is similarly superior to Penn's.
		It's here that Benton's film is most interesting: in detailing the miseducation of Drew Dixon, as he vacillates between good breeding and, uh, bad company, Benton shows the slide into amorality that was sweeping the nation.

	MAGAZINE \| EVENTS\| The Human Stain screening with Robert Benton \| VOL 28-4: November 2003
		Like the protagonist in his latest film, The Human Stain, director Robert Benton revealed that for years he's been struggling with a difficult, sensitive issue that has profoundly affected both his personal and professional life.
		Benton's dyslexia is a rarely revealed facet of the man who wrote the Academy Award-winning screenplays for Places in the Heart (1984) and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
		Benton said he felt like it was appropriate to "use an eraser, but not a pen" in streamlining the original, more complex work, which was written at the end of the Clinton Administration.

	Robert Benton
		Director and screenwriter Robert Benton may not have achieved the legendary mainstream status associated with his peers Scorsese and Coppola, but this idiosyncratic filmmaker and screenwriter has had more than his share of major successes on the silver screen.
		Benton's best known film as a director is Kramer vs. Kramer, the 1979 winner of five Academy Awards, including best direction and best screenplay.
		Benton made his directorial debut with Bad Company, but the 1972 crime western was not a commercial success.

		When Robert Benton was hired by Esquire magazine in 1956, little did he know that he’d just begun on the path to becoming an Oscar®-winning director and writer.

	The Movie Chicks - Interview - Robert Benton
		Robert: The book starts with Coleman Silk - you see him go to the classroom and he teaches and he says the word "spooks"; you don't begin with the murder first.
		Robert: Because I felt that, on several different levels, you need an actor who is so strong that can convince that he's a professor at a prestigious women's college, that you can also feel that he was at one time, a boxer.
		Robert: No, it was made into a television show with Robert Montgomery back in the days of live television.

	A Gorilla of a Novel, a Mess of a Movie; Robert Benton's "The Human Stain"
		Anthony Hopkins and Gary Sinise in Robert Benton's "The Human Stain" Image courtesy of Miramax Films.
		What Benton chooses to do, however, is to preserve the melodramatic elements, things like dead babies and vehicular homicide -- perhaps they were taken to be more "cinematic" -- and jettison everything else which is, of course, the good stuff.
		The other less appetizing feature of the novel that Benton has, alas, conveyed all too well is Roth's whininess -- an unpleasant curse that affects all too many senior male American novelists -- about all those ethnic groups that have become so uppity and demanding.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Human Stain" review (2003) Robert Benton, Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman
		Director Robert Benton's quietly compelling adaptation of Philip Roth's novel "The Human Stain" has two conspicuous problems: The very beginning and the very end, both of which are such arrant cinematic affectations that I knew immediately -- without ever having read the book -- the scenes were supplements of the screenplay.
		The faux pas at the end of the picture is that Benton overshoots a perfect finale (the last scene from the novel, I've since learned) for the sake of a heartstring-tugging Hollywood epilogue.
		But the balance of the film is everything one should expect from actors the caliber of Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
