| TxSx | Get off this damn board for the evening... One hell of a disturbing movie... THE BELIEVER November 28 2002: 7:15 & 9:15 Henry Bean (USA, 2001, 98 min; 14A) �Danny Balint (Ryan Gosling) leads a double life. By day he is a neo-Nazi skinhead, complete with combat boots and a thirst for violence. By night he reads the Torah and teaches Hebrew. His Jewish friends think that his fashion choices are simply part of some wayward street style, while his neo-Nazi collaborators have no inkling that one of their must trusted young leaders is actually Jewish. Is he a spy, is he schizophrenic, or is it really possible to be two opposites at once? Director Henry Bean's first feature is an awe-inspiring film. It's the kind of ferociously committed film that leaves you with more questions than answers. Is Danny trying to provoke God? Does he need to be hated? The acting is superb. But the real plaudits belong to Bean's script, which trawls through philosophical questions about the nature of binary oppositions - good and evil, love and hate, Semitic and anti-Semitic - without once losing its dynamic momentum. Making American History X look like a shallow MTV commercial, The Believer is first class film-making. Deconstructing the politics of hate, the neo-Nazi movement's obsession with racial purity and the soil, and brave enough even to confront the issue of the Holocaust survivors, Bean's film is a contender for one of the best films of the year - an intellectually breathtaking, profoundly moving film.� (BBC) - Thu, 28 Nov 2002 2:15pm | ||
