Gus Van Sant returns to the first phase of retirement with a bout of health

On the other hand, the small print story, written by men, chronicles the time that has passed with the arrival of two major political operations led by authors associated with the city of Portland: Kelly Reichardt, who appeared with Mastermindy Gus Van Sant (Louisville, 1952), which p Prime Crime: The True Story – Trained at the last festival in Venice – back to the first plane film dissident.

He had to come back at the end of the day Paranoid Park (2007) or My name is Harvey Milk (2008) to meet a film in which the master of independent cinema exhibited with such enthusiasm that he has a talent for hermanar theme and aesthetics.

En Prime Crimethe central theme is the classroom play, separated across vicissitudes, based on real things, Tony Kiritsis (played by the warrior Bill Skarsgård), an ordinary man from Indianpolis, who one day in February 1977 managed to withstand the tretas of a professional company led by a father (hissing Al Pacino, as in his good days) and a boy (Dacre Montgomery, at the altitude of your companions in the department).

Armed with a firearm and a shoulder strap of swords, Kiritsis returned to his son and demanded from his father, as he did, economic compensation and excuse that they conspired against the promise of a financial project.

The plan could not be more elementary, dichotomous cases, but Van Sant sees this thing between the proletarian David—even more Yankee than nadie in his life in the American world—and the capitalist Goliath in an unsettling and nostalgic audiovisual feast. Reviving the aesthetic power of his failed collaboration with cinematographer Harris Savides in 2012, Van Sant combines electric stage door controls with an experimental impulse.

In its exuberant grammar, Prime Crime paddle to los thrillers urban area Sidney Lumet, olla in the present Late perros (1975) for a portrait of social debacle The net, the unforgiving world (1976). Meanwhile, moved by a playful impulse, Van Sant returns a dazzling gallery of visual tricksfrom gaming windows with artificial light and video format (the days that happen at night actually get harder).

With a plot, that condemns the codicia de los poderosos and who receives the echoes The big carnival (1951) by Billy Wilder y A hell of hate (1963) Akira Kurosawa, Prime Crime returns to the work of one of the television journalists to explore, without the absurd and dark humor, the fascination that media circuses and stories of violence generate in the common state.
