There s no mystery to be sorted in Green Room, a punks vs. neo-Nazis movie that premiered in the Directors Fortnight section and follows a bloody survival struggle out in the Oregon woods. It s the latest from American indie filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier, and expands on the approach to violence Saulnier used so well in his last movie, Blue Ruin. He portrays it as carried out by people who have little experience with it and no idea what they re doing, and who are horrified by the mess and awfulness of what they ve been driven to do. It s a joltingly effective way to make action and gore feel fresh and distressing, insisting on an awareness of the vulnerable physicality of everyone on screen especially when one of them is getting his throat torn out by a trained attack dog.
Saulnier s main characters, a band called the Ain t Rights made up of Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, and Joe Cole, score a makeup gig at a remote venue that s outside of their comfort zone, skinhead-wise, but promises to provide some much-needed dough to keep their tour going. They re the kind of kids whose idea of aggression is expressed through their opening their set with a cover of the Dead Kennedys Nazi Punks Fuck Off. But when one of them walks in on a murder and it becomes clear that no one else is interested in calling the cops, the four end up barricaded in the green room with the dead girl s friend (Imogen Poots). Then the club owner and local white-supremacist leader (Patrick Stewart ) turns up, and everything escalates into guerrilla warfare as carried out by people whose only previous brush with it was at a paintball party.相关的主题文章:
