Challenging and Rewarding
I had the opportunity to see this film at Cannes and then again at it’s ‘real’ debut at the LA Film Festival. What a difference! Apparently the filmmakers were anxious to get to Cannes and had not finished the editing. Although I liked it before– this version really hits the spot without the confusing extras that were still at Cannes. I’m glad I gave it a second chance and in fact I’m now anxious to see it again when it’s released. The film is very layered and subtle. It is beautifully shot and the four main characters are original and yet painfully familiar in their alienation, anger, and despair. The Cowboy character played by Edward Norton seems so simple at first but as he is drawn into the family his character and the truth of his ‘being’ gradually unravels in ways that left me speechless at the end of the film. The character played by Rory Culkin, “Twig”, says very little throughout the film and yet he conveys a sense of yearning and loneliness almost too painful to bare. But even he undergoes an unexpected transformation by the end of the film. My favorite though, was Evan Rachel Wood. I think she steals the show… without trying at all. Her emotions and rebelliousness are raw and totally authentic. She is a luminous creature on the screen. Her relationship with the Cowboy seemed unlikely at first and then became completely believable, especially in the bathtub scene. My main criticism is that the film is demanding. If you’re not in the mood to sink into a fairly deep experience with some shocking moments and unpredictable outcomes–don’t waste your time. This is a film for lovers of independent film and psychological kinds of cinema. There are also several scenes that border on surrealism. I’d be interested to know more about the making of this film and look forward to the DVD. I imagine this film may take awhile to be discovered but it holds tremendous rewards for those patient and thoughtful enough to venture into it.

Taxi Driver of the heart…
Just caught “Down in the Valley” by David Jacobson (who also wrote) at the cinema and was completely knocked out. An achingly beautiful & melancholy film, tender as an open wound and with a Edward Norton in, I think, his finest role (he also produced, with the help of the Sundance Foundation) as he veers towards the void, like an innocent Travis Bickle. He plays a delusional drifter who thinks he’s a cowboy in the modern day San Fernando Valley, who falls for the beautiful young daughter (great performance Evan Rachel Wood) of David Morse (always consistent). Great script with some wonderful lines + a nice cameo role from Bruce Dern…this film left some indelible mark – one of the best I’ve seen in some time. Highly recommended. Oh, fantastic music, also….
