Albert Finney is insane in ‘Under the Volcano,’ on DVD.
When John Huston took Albert Finney down to Mexico to film a man’s final unravelling on the Day of the Dead for this 1984 movie, he must have been looking to get a little crazy. But Finney's performance wound up a lot crazy: Boozing it up on a kind of world-historic scale, his Geoffrey Firmin prances when giddy, and rages when sour, torturing his ex-wife, insulting everyone within a twenty-foot radius, and finally passing out in a busy street.
