| "Paranoid Park DVD" |
| "While Gus Van Sant's PARANOID PARK is in keeping with the atmospheric work of the films in his previous 'death trilogy' (GERRY ELEPHANT LAST DAYS) this time around he's working from a more conventional narrative to capture the awkwardness and pressures of adolescence The result is a work of breathtakingly personal cinema--intimate beautiful and moving Based on the novel by Blake Nelson PARANOID PARK tells the troubled story of Alex (Gabe Nevins) a Portland high school student who loves to skateboard But after accidentally causing the death of a security guard Alex must come to terms with the guilty feelings that are threatening to overwhelm him Unable to tell anyone what has happened including his best friend Jared (Jake Miller) and his nagging girlfriend Jennifer (Tayler Momsen) he keeps it all inside at the risk of imploding with guilt Van Sant is an impressionistic and deeply sensitive director His decision to work with acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle (FALLEN ANGELS IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) pays off immeasurably as Doyle combines naturalistic full-frame 35mm with grainy super-8 to create a lush moody atmosphere As usual Van Sant's sonic tastes are impeccable He once again employs the music of Elliott Smith to great effect contrasting Smith's heartbreaking songs with slow-motion imagery further establishing a sense of confusion and loss The cast all recruited from the social networking website MySpace are more than serviceable yet it is Nevins who steals the show His Alex is a likeable figure to whom the audience can relate further personaliSing an already intimate tale PARANOID PARK is a gorgeous unforgettable tone poem that captures the myriad complexities of teenage life"
