Southland Tales

I got lucky enough to be able to watch this in the USA and the DVD is now available in France... Finally!

Remember when the movie has been introduced in Cannes in may 2006... It was a catastroph, only a few enjoyed the movie. Considered as a fallen angel, the movie brought only $ 367 000 in the US while its budget was $ 17 millions.

Unfortunatly, but i can't complain either, the DVD version is 20 min shorter.
It's not easy to sum up this movie but it's kinda a new pop lecture of the St Jean Apocalypse... So it's a mix of comedy, thriller and sci-fi made like a home-movie, video clip, pub, video game, tv, internet...

The casting: The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, Sean William Scott and also Christophe Lambert is a delightful unexpected surprise.

Indeed, Southland Tales is a perfect synthesis of the Bush years! After "Donnie Darko", here's the new masterpiece of Richard Kelly.

This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper but with a bang.
