Black comedy, cleverly funny.
18 January 2021
Black comedy, cleverly funny. The film designed for home video (the short-sightedness of producers and distributors is blatant!), Was then distributed in cinemas around the world, when there was considerable public favor in the few American theaters where it was on view. Same favor found at the Toronto Film Festival where the film was awarded. The director Martin McDonagh, born in 1970, a successful British playwright, in his second feature film, brilliantly packs a narrative architecture of pure metacinema. The result is really interesting thanks to an impeccable screenplay written by the director himself and the choice of actors in a state of grace: Walken / Hans whose intimacy excites; Rockwell / Billy believable in his friendly madness; Farrell / Marty, screenwriter with autobiographical connotations, in search of a normal and impossible serenity; Harrelson / Charlie always perfect "Natural Born Killer"; Waits / Zachariah already psycho of him! Film not to be missed!
