Paranoid Park
A boy skateboarding in Portland lover commits a serious crime, with its own table: a simple plot, but with a complex meaning. From the story, words, images, characters and settings from an emerging concept, that of the suspension.
In his latest film awarded by the jury at the Cannes film director Gus Van Sant tries to put a face to what appears to be the frame of our times. A frame from the soft edges, almost completely evaporated. The skate and adolescence are the symbols of the suspension. The board is, in fact, something that breaks the contact with the ground and at the same time eliminates the friction, thanks to the wheels you can learn to slide on any surface. Adolescence also represents the most uncertain phase of life, a period full of anxieties, where so many are frustrated aspiration from a state that sees the individual still powerless.
The director in a film devoid of great actors and spectacular location, in short, a modest film, manages to convey a sense of emptiness and loss that affects the unconscious of Western civilization.
