Red Dirt opens with lush images of rain-drenched faces and half-naked bodies lying entwined against the gnarled roots of a tree. Slowly, the movie unwinds the story of Griffith (Dan Montgomery), a young man who feels trapped in a small Southern town by the madness of his invalid aunt (Karen Black). His only comfort is his secret affair with his cousin Emily (Aleksa Palladino), but even that begins to lose its meaning. When a stranger (Walton Goggins) seeks to rent a cottage on Griffith's property, they strike up a friendship that offers Griffith the possibility of escape. At first, Red Dirt threatens to drown in the tortured emotions of a Southern gothic novel, but the excellent performances slowly build a rich, affecting web of hope and passion. Palladino, a young beauty with amazingly thick red hair, is particularly striking.
6/10,其实我对gay片的给分一向偏高。导演力图拍出一部唯美忧伤的片子,只可惜功力不够。动人的音乐、景色和镜头控制并不能成就一部影片。影片最煽情之处却也是最荒谬之处,两个没有文化的小青年深情款款的念出如此动人的诗篇,实在是。。。
没有太大的意思,不像同志片
Griffith注定不是个旅者
不错的电影,但有些抽象,无法产生足够的共鸣
