yeah, this is the weakest thing i've seen so far and it still wasn't horrible. this is a film from austin by the zellner brothers. i went cause it said susan tyrell was in it and i'm pretty sure she hasn't done anything for a while and now that she's living in austin, i'm sure the zellners encouraged her to be part of something. (spoiler alert: only her voice is in the film, nothing else)
annie is a little tomboy girl, she's a little disturbed and has horrible redneck caretakers which are two dudes that pull their own teeth out and scratch off lottery tickets. so naturally, she's not the smartest child and most likely has some sort of mental disorder. she romping around the city breaking things, stealing, and being destructive in general.
i think this film would have been better if todd solonz directed it. the balance of playing it straight and making it uncomfortable wasn't enough for me. i want oddities. more of them! while messing around in the woods, annie hears a hallowing scream and discovers a women who seems to have fallen down a well. or has she?
maybe she's satan? annie doesn't know and doesn't get help like a smart person, she steal food and drinks for the women and keep in minimal contact with her over a walkie talkie.
*spoiler alert* (maybe)
this isn't addressed, but i think annie was imaging this women entirely. one reason being is that there was no end to the well, every time annie drops something into it, it NEVER hits the bottom. which means there couldn't be a fucking women stranded down there. i don't know maybe i'm reading too much into it.
the little girls performance isn't that special, it's mostly silent anyhow.
nothing that remarkable, just some artsy troubled child stuff.
this isn't anything special, and i've never seen a zellner brothers picture before even though a friend of mine is in one. HA! and actually, i'm pretty sure zack carlson is in this one as a chevron clerk. i could be wrong, i'm pretty tired. i don't know if this is artsy for them, but i'm guessing it's their attempt of being wes anderson.
