What Rebel Without a Cause Is About

Nicholas Ray's 1955 film follows a troubled high-schooler who has moved to a new city. He cannot talk to his parents. In one night three young lives change. It is counted among the first films to treat adolescence as a serious subject; the narrative makes the conflict between generations its real matter. James Dean leads. He died in a car crash before the film opened. The colour and framing were built with care. Who it's for: those who like classic teen drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting realism by today's measure; the register is close to melodrama.
