It was not what I expected. Recommended by Shareen, and one of "Kiva's Picks", it was long and every word or phrase or scene had meaning. It was poignant and I want ever single shirt that Faye Dunaway wore in the movie.
PARANOID PARK:
It's Gus Van Sant, and it's set and filmed in Portland. I've always had a tendency to figure out where a television show or a movie is set, what city or state it's supposed to be in. I'm not sure I would have known this one was Portland if I didn't live here now. The bridges, the skate park, downtown... This movie made me two things: 1. want to go to the coast, and 2. develop crushes on 16 year old skater boys (who I don't think I've ever seen in this city. I actually haven't seen a teenager since I left California.).
