Robin Wood argued, ‘always, indissolubly Pacino’ – which points to that special charisma that made him a star – it’s also true that his range is considerable. Wood also wrote of two complementary strains in his work, predicated on the expression or repression of energy, and it’s hard to think of anyone who has created a body of work that is more emotionally and psychologically dynamic. Pacino can seem intensely clenched or so excitable he’s on the brink of breakdown. Small wonder David Thomson has written that Pacino ‘conveys the charm and the neediness of a perilously recovered invalid. With rare, sweet stealth, he has insinuated himself as one of our great actors... Faults and all, he is still unmissable.’ https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=alpacino
