A gang leader hunted by the police attempts a last maneuver to ensure his family’s future. A scathing, dark movie that evokes Jules Dassin and Howard Hawkes’ cinema, The Wild Goose Lake caused a sensation in Cannes this year, and rightly so. It’ll take your breath away.
A gang leader looking for redemption and a desperate prostitute. During a murky manhunt, both seek to find their freedom again. Violence, as in a centrifuge, is a permanent catharsis. The moviemaker draws a perfectly tight stage play. In the projected shadows, his ellipses and geometry of space are reminiscent of Fritz Lang and Carol Reed. This film noir, uniquely beautiful and politically incorrect, is dizzying.
