Quote:
Harmonious yet cold as ice, “Little Odessa” is built through melancholy, kinship, and violence, violence that comes from every place, at any time, and against anyone and everyone. Once in contact with it, the vicious circle starts with a point of no return, leaving adversity and many casualties behind.Read More » -

Wim Wenders – Don’t Come Knocking (2005)
2001-2010ArthouseDramaFranceWim WendersQuote:
With Don’t Come Knocking, Wim Wenders revisits territory, both literal and metaphorical, first explored in Paris, Texas. Not only does he return to the Southwest, but Sam Shepard is back as co-writer. This time, he’s also the star. His Howard Spence is a movie cowboy who’s had enough. One day while working in Monument Valley, he takes off his boots and hops a train to Nevada to see his mother (Eva Marie Saint, lovely as ever). Little does he know that Sutter (Tim Roth), a by-the-books bondsman, is hot on his trail. Next, Spence travels to Montana where a sad young woman named Sky (Sarah Polley) is recovering from a recent death, while an angry young man named Earl (Gabriel Mann), who sounds much like Chris Isaak, plies the troubadour trade. Spence doesn’t know it yet, but they’re the results of a rambunctious past that will soon “come knocking,” as it were. Read More »
