Artsy Southern Gothic with Joseph Fiennes, Elisabeth Shue, Dennis Hopper and Sam Shepard
A quiet man who’s a gifted writer (Joseph Fiennes) gets out of prison in Mississippi and immediately starts writing in his motel room while working at a nearby restaurant where he has to deal with the local loudmouth (Dennis Hopper). Meanwhile a woman struggles with her moral failings as she lives in an antebellum mansion (Elisabeth Shue). Sam Shepard, Justin Chambers, Deborah Kara Unger and Mary Stuart Masterson are also on hand.“Leo” (2002) is Southern Gothic that mixes elements of “Sling Blade” (1996), “Blue Velvet” (1986) and “Two Moon Junction” (1988) with a little “Forrest Gump” (1994). While nowhere near the entertainment level of “Forrest,” it’s arguably on par with the others. It was Mehdi Norowzian’s only feature-length film and his (currently) last one, which is a shame because it certainly shows that he knows how to make an aesthetically appealing motion picture.
If you appreciate those movies, give it a try. I value it for its artistic style and the quality cast, but the storytelling could’ve been more compelling and less ambiguous on certain points. I’ll have to view it again soon to try to figure out those muddy aspects. I’d say more, but I don’t want to give anything away.
The film runs 1 hour, 43 minutes, and was shot in Oxford, Mississippi, and Charleston, South Carolina.
