Geraldine is from Charleston, where only the poor people went to the sea islands and the beaches. She found the desert mountain-scapes inspiring. Until they became haunting. Antonia’s from Italy, where the coastline was ravaged by pirates for years; cities are safe.</p>

Bateman<p>The Shooting (Monte Hellman, 1966) A minimalistic Western starring Warren Oates that cruises on vibe and a mystery that, in the end, isn't as mysterious and surprising if you have a sharp memory. A typical film that gets better afterwards when you think and read about it. I suspect somewhere during production acid was dropped, and to his credit, Hellman is very sparse with clues, giving the whole film an unmoored feeling. <br><a href="https://boxd.it/aU7KrP" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">boxd.it/aU7KrP</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/western" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>western</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/cinemastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cinemastodon</span></a></p>

Genauer: Nach dem Holz eines Sarges in frischer Erde. Hier verschluckt der Boden jede Hoffnung. Kein großes Westernkino, kein Mythos von Eroberung – nur Matsch, Regen und die Leere einer Welt, die nur von Gewalt zusammengehalten wird. Selten habe ich einen Western gesehen, der so sehr nach einem alten Friedhof aussieht. Vielleicht, weil hier ein Ire auf die Gründungsfantasie Amerikas blickt und ihr alle Illusionen nimmt.
