"It turns to streaming piss."
(Dir. Atom Egoyan) (1997)
The school bus has gone badly off piste in a town that looks (and acts) like South Park. Whilst a close-knit (at times, a little too close-knit – adultery and, disturbingly, incest seems de rigueur) community mourns the lost children, a troubled ambulance-chaser (Ian Holm) moves in. This intense and rich movie features superb performances and has a great weird atmosphere.
[Trivia note: Director Egoyan is a big fan of The Homecoming, that AFI rendering of hijinks within a bogan family. Apart from Ian Holm, who is sensational in Atom’s film, TVC does not agree. Respectfully, filmmakers should stick to film-making.]While your email address is required to post a comment, it will NOT be published.
