George Washington (2000)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 90m
Director: David Gordon Green
Cast: Candace Evanofski, Donald Holden, Damien Jewan Lee

Synopsis:

In an industrially has-been US town five youngsters pass their time idling around a rail yard and semi-derelict buildings, where one of them suffers a fatal fall.

Review:

A film about aimless lives which at times seems similarly cut adrift. The focus on the American underclass - twelve year-old girl looking for a mature boyfriend, uncle chopping a pet dog up and turning the skin into a hat, children playing in and around filth - is at odds with a mise en scène which displays an eye for the ugly made formal. The results endow the film's subjects with dignity and approachability but can be self-consciously serendipitous.
