Quote:
My Name is Joe is a slice of life so raw that you can see the blood dripping off it and in real life it mixes humour, tragedy and violence in equal measure. Joe (Peter Mullan) is a recovering alcoholic and has done a few things in his past which he’s rather forget. Like most people he knows, he’s out of work but he keeps sane by coaching the self-styled worst football team in Glasgow. When one of Joe’s players, Liam (David McKay), gets involved with some local gangsters a chain of events is set in motion which not only threatens the lives of those concerned but also comes between Joe’s budding love affair with social worker Sarah (Louise Goodall).

The post Ken Loach – My Name Is Joe (1998) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This taut, cerebral thriller by award-winning documentary filmmaker Clive Gordon showcases an outstanding cast and a smart, multilayered screenplay. In this intensely crafted drama, a young backpacker, Chris (Daniel Bruhl), is traveling around Africa when he gets into trouble, loses his passport, and decides to stow away aboard a rusty cargo ship to flee the local police and get back to Europe. Discovered shortly after putting to sea, he quickly realizes that this is no ordinary voyage: it features a crew of hopeless, possibly even deranged, men; a mysteriously inscrutable captain (Peter Mullan), who holds absolute sway over the inhabitants of this insular floating isle; and a ship that seems to be burdened by untold secrets.

Having innocently moved from the frying pan to the fire, Chris faces a resentful, threatened, and threatening crew, whose only human face is the chef (Luis Tosar). Chris must struggle to survive in a world where moral order and indeed life and death are at the whim of one man.

Beautifully shot and filled with exemplary performances, Cargo is both a tale of survival and a quest for truth. This contemporary voyage, with its Joseph Conrad-like exploration of the dilemmas of individual choice, is a strikingly relevant drama for our times.

Encompassed by violent street gangs, neglectful parents, bullying teachers and a dearth of positive role models, a studious but emotionally abandoned kid turns thug.

The post David Mackenzie – Young Adam [+commentaries] (2003) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The adaptation of a novel by Alexander Trocchi, a figure of the Beat generation, David Mac Kenzie’s Young Adam slowly sails on turbid water, carrying in its wake some characters stuck in lives with hopeless futures.

In 1950’s Scotland, Joe works on a barge owned by Les and Ella. The trio delivers coal bags along the channels between Glasgow and Edinburgh. One day, the two men fish out the corpse of a drowned woman. While Les waits impatiently to make headlines in the press, Joe launches into a secret affair with Ella.

If Trocchi’s novel provides the plot and themes of this story, Mac Kenzie’s direction focuses on composing a dirty atmosphere that reflects the lives of the characters. Like the coal that they transport, their existence seems to be covered with a layer of soot and bad luck on which the shadow of death planes. An impression brilliantly reinforced by the photography, which uses a pallet of colors going from the black of the night and coal to the blue of water. Even the credits announce the role of colors: a body floats with its messed up hair floating in the current and filtering the rays of light which pierce the surface of water.

Joe, the main character, appears as an anti-hero about whom nothing is known. Only the flashbacks give elements on his relationship to the corpse (Cathie), extremely useful to understand his reactions and expose his emotions vis-à-vis the events. All through the film, he carries demons that prevent him from any hope of redemption. To flee the feeling of guilt, when the police arrest an innocent man and to fill the emotional vacuum of his existence, this almost ghostly figure, a failed writer, throws himself into a sexual relation stripped of any passion. These erotic and macabre scenes, among the most successful here, testify to the existential stagnation of the characters.

Performances should be noted here, starting with Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton. They give a feeling of deep loneliness to their quasi-animal embraces. The glances are lost and the gestures deny any sensuality. A doomed resignation guides the progression of the characters, as slow as the barge and as monotonous as the channels’ currents. These beings without a future have already capitulated, at the point of sinking into mediocrity, even in their dreams of a better life: “We’ll settle in a bungalow in the suburbs of Edinburgh.” That’s how Ella considers her future with Joe, her new companion. The husband, evicted, withdraws himself without even fighting or expressing his anger.

Existential dryness and closed-in destinies are the main themes of David Mac Kenzie’s film. Music by David Byrne, cords and piano, rhythm the immobility of the film, bringing an additional note of nostalgia. A success.

from allmovie:
One man’s small empire threatens to collapse under the weight of his greed and deceit in this drama that transplants the story of Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge to 19th century America. In 1867, Dillon (Peter Mullan) is an Irish immigrant who settled in California during the Gold Rush of ’49 and has done quite well for himself. Dillon owns nearly every business of consequence in the town of Kingdom Come; if someone wants to dig for gold, rent a room, open a bank account, or even order a drink, they have to go to Dillon to do it. One of the few profitable enterprises in town that he doesn’t own is the brothel, which is operated by Lucia (Milla Jovovich), Dillon’s lover. But Dillon sees his hold on the town threatened when Dalglish (Wes Bentley) arrives in Kingdom Come. Dalglish is a surveyor with the Central Pacific Railroad, which wants to put a train line through Kingdom Come. Dillon believes that Dalglish’s plans could pull control of Kingdom Come out of his hands, and he’s willing to go to any lengths to see that this doesn’t happen. Arriving in town the same time as Dalglish are two women, the beautiful but ailing Elena (Nastassja Kinski) and her lovely teenage daughter Hope (Sarah Polley); their presence is deeply troubling for Dillon, for they are the keys to a dark secret Dillon has kept from the people of Kingdom Come. The Claim is Michael Winterbottom’s second adaptation of the works of Thomas Hardy; his 1996 feature Jude was adapted from Hardy’s final novel, Jude the Obscure. — Mark Deming
