SWEET LAND

Another one of those films Hollywood shuns. It made only (only) a million at the box office. Which would be fine to most of us, but it's way below minimum-wage for Hollywood or anything else in the media. The director worked years at getting it onto the screen. Someone else complained about the chronology of the film (not liking) and I thought, hmm, that's just what I love about the film. It's flashbacks and foreshadows and lighting. Excellent actors. It isn't powerful. I believe I have become quite tired of the powerful.

We watched it by woodfire light, one simple candle and two crate tables pushed together for a Thanksgiving little feast.
