Set in Los Angeles two days before the end of 1999, Strange Days introduces us to Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes), an ex-cop turned sleazy hustler who hawks the newest underground thrill on the black market: a “squid,” a headpiece that allows one to transmit digital recordings of other people’s thoughts, feelings, and memories into their brain; as Lenny describes it, “this is real life, pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex.” Lenny deals “clips” (the software) as well as “squids” (the hardware) for this new and illegal entertainment system, and while sex and violence are the most popular themes, Lenny refuses to deal in “blackjack” — slang for snuff clips. Lenny is nursing a broken heart after his girlfriend, punk singer Faith Justin (Juliette Lewis), left him, and he spends a lot of time with clips he recorded when they were together. Faith is now involved with Philo Grant (Michael Wincott), a music business tycoon who once managed Jeriko One (Glenn Plummer), a hip-hop musician and political activist whose murder has sent L.A. into a state of chaos. When a clip emerges that shows that Jeriko was killed by L.A. police officers, Lenny finds his life in danger, and he tries to escape possible death on both sides of the law with the help of his friend Mace Mason (Angela Bassett). Strange Days was written by James Cameron in collaboration with former film critic Jay Cocks; Kathryn Bigelow directed.

The post Kathryn Bigelow – Strange Days (1995) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Willem Dafoe’s first credited screen role.
A group of leather-clad bikers en route to some blistering racing action in Daytona, Fla., makes a pit stop in a backwater Georgia town. While waiting for one of their hogs to get fixed, the gang decides to raise hell. But they get more than they bargained for when the townsfolk battle back in this moody homage to “The Wild One.”

Bigelow’s big-screen debut is intelligent, provocative, camp, indulgent, erotic, occasionally frustrating, and often brilliant. Dafoe is pretty cool in his first film, the leader of a bitching gang of bikers who ride into a small Southern town on their way to the Daytona races. Their presence disturbs the locals, and leads to tragedy when a local girl hooks up with them.

There are blatant nods to the nouvelle vague, not least in its nihilistic outlook, as well as the obvious references to The Wild Ones and Kenneth Anger. This homage element gives the film an in-vogue 80s post-modern (ugh!) edge that dates it, but it is wonderfully realized.

Bigelow’s eye is terrific, fetishizing the bikers’ leather, their greasy hair, their sunglasses and their powerful machines with a fascinated glee that is utterly compelling. Uncomfortable themes of incest and child abuse are perhaps thrown in a little flippantly, but never gratuitously.
