Recensione di EyeAskance

A little boy has a tough time adjusting to his new rural environs, and can't seem to fit in with the other local boys(in a nothing-little town with about five kids living in it, you'd think they might make an effort to establish some sort of mutuality).

The director does a marvelous job of drawing the viewer into the picture...you can really feel the hick-town boredom. No...I mean, REALLY feel it. Around seventy minutes of it. It's sort of like THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, but without all that pointless character analysis and forceful iconography. BUZZARD is a minimalist work...it's powerfully plain. Flattened, washed-out, and unstimulating, because it's supposed to be that way...a "less is more" type of thing, and they nailed it. It should probably be noted that there's a random wisecracking buzzard on-hand to narrate this steamrolling dreadnought of unseasoned dormancy. It has no direct placement in the proceedings, it just keeps us abreast of things as they're happening. That way, it almost seems like things ARE happening. See? You can have an expository device without a story. That's what they did here. It's supposed to be like that.

A film for the whole family to enjoy, especially if your kids are on Adderall. You can take one too, it's okay!
