I (Andrina) watched this without Tim on January 5, 2010. Netflix instant streaming is mankind's greatest achievement.
Written by: Walt Curtis (story)
Gus Van Sant
Starring: Tim Streeter
Plot synopsis:
Mala Noche is based on an autobiographical story by Walt Curtis and takes place in Portland, Oregon. Walt ,who is kind of an asshole, is a convenience store clerk and totally gay for Johnny, a illegal Mexican immigrant who doesn't speak English, and is also kind of an asshole. Johnny is weirded out by Walt and refuses all of his advances. Walt ends up having sex with Johnny's friend Pepper, who is yet another asshole. Johnny goes missing, Pepper gets sick, Walt remains an asshole....and some other shit happens.
Review:
Everyone in this movie is an asshole. I don't care what happens to any of these people because they are all selfish and arrogant. The acting is bad. The pacing is tedious. I have no idea how much time is going by. I could give a fuck less about the story. This is one of Gus Van Sant's first movies so I don't want to judge it too harshly. It feels like a first movie. I didn't expect anything amazing going in so I wasn't necessarily disappointed by it. But I'd definitely watch it again. I'm a sucker for black and white photography. I'm an even bigger sucker for hard shadows, high contrast, and dramatic lighting and focus. This movie is fucking gorgeous. Every shot would make a beautiful photograph. It's not for everybody but for me it's a complete visual-orgy-gasm. So if you ever watch it just watch it with the sound off. I will end this some stills from the movie so you can relish in the beauty.
