    • Bears some similarities with Elephant. A similarly photogenic teen milieu is shot with fluid, graceful camerawork; a non-linear structure slots together like a puzzle to reveal the panicked mindset of a boy under agreat deal of stress

      What is interesting in this film is the technology that allowed the filming of some remarkable skate-boarding scenes - montages shown in slow motion for maximum... read more »

    • Paranoid Park - Blu-ray
      While Gus Van Sant's PARANOID PARK is in keeping with the atmospheric work of the films in his previous 'death trilogy' (GERRY, ELEPHANT, LAST DAYS), this time around he's working from a more conventional narrative to capture the awkwardness and pressures of adolescence. The result is a work of ...
